Colour, in two lights

A colour that looks right at ten in the morning can look quite different under a lamp at nine at night. So Laura judges it in both, before you paint.

A plaster wall by a window with three painted sample patches, in morning light. The same wall and patches in evening lamplight.

Paint three on the wall

Example: fictional
Sample colours, up to three

The wall as photographed, by morning light. Choose up to three colours to paint on it.

Choose up to three sample colours. Each goes on a patch, in the order you choose; a fourth replaces the oldest. Then switch the light.

The colour names are made up for this example, not a paint maker's.

With scripts turned off the wall shows its own three samples; the try-out needs JavaScript.

Two ways to settle it

From your photos by video, or with patches on your own walls.

You buy the sample pots, at the shop's price. They are not included in either price.

Why two lights

Morning. Daylight from a window is cooler and flatter. Greys turn blue, and greens go quiet.

Evening. A lamp is warm and low. Pinks deepen, whites turn cream, and the corners of the room fall away.

Both. A plan that only works in one light only works half the day, so the patches are judged in each.

Prefer to keep notes yourself? The Sample Diary app: see your paint in your own light, morning and evening.
