Bedroom

Bedrooms are typically lit with warmer, lower light than the rest of the house — a condition that flatters warm tones and deepens cool ones. Cloudless returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
