Color combos that oddly please the brain

Funny, I used to think gray was the safest bet, but in our living room it just looked cold until we swapped the bulbs. Now the same gray feels way warmer, almost like a totally different color. It’s wild how much vibe depends on the time of day or even weather. Has anyone else been surprised by how a color shifts from room to room?

Yeah, lighting is a total game-changer. I used to think paint swatches were just marketing nonsense, but after trying a “warm” white in my kitchen and watching it turn weirdly yellow at sunset, I’m convinced. Honestly, I’m still skeptical about how much of it is just our brains messing with us versus actual color change. But hey, if swapping bulbs saves me from repainting, I’ll take it.
