Choosing the right paint color can be tricky, and lighting can change the results.
Apartment Therapy explains how different types of light bulbs can affect the way your paint looks.
Frake even threw in some specifics:
Incandescent: Warmer light that enhances red, yellows, and oranges.
Downplays cooler colors
Fluorescents: Cooler light that enhances blues and greens, and diminishes warmer hues.
LEDs: More flexible than the other bulbs and looks good with most paint colors.
CFLs: Depends on the bulb, so check the Kelvin rating.
The lower the number, the warmer the bulb.
Full spectrum bulbs mimic daylight.
Halogen: Also closely resembles daylight, and makes colors stand out more.
