Light Source Information

Morning Daylight – Cool daylight absorbs the coolness and shifts color towards warmer pigments.

Strongest Daylight – Very bright direct sunlight washes out colour and lightens and whitens it.

Fading Daylight – Mixed light cancels both warm and cool shifting color duller and neutral.

Artificial Night Light – Warm lights absorb warmth shifting it to cool pigments.

Effect of Natural Light Exposures on Colours

East – Adds Green

West – Adds Orange
