How light color affects cabinet color

7 years ago


Our electrician loaned us a light that has a selector switch to change the color temperature. I used it to evaluate 2 different color finishes on some quartersawn white oak, my goal is to have the oak look as close to "freshly sanded" as possible without looking yellow/orange. All of these pics are in same spot, just changing the light color. I thought it was amazing how much more yellow you see when the light is warm vs. cool.


Next up is checking the wood color in daylight tomorrow. But this was too interesting to not share, I didn't realize how much light can impact cabinets.
