For a warm color palette, consider using soft, warm lights like amber or gold. For cool palettes, use daylight or cool white lights to maintain the vibrancy of the colors.

Sure! For example, a red object under blue lighting may appear purple, while the same object under warm lighting will look more vibrant and true to its color.

Start by understanding the emotions you want to evoke with your color scheme. Then, select lighting that complements those colors and enhances their impact.
