I have spent hours testing blue paints in different rooms and noticed how quickly some shift from soft to stark once the afternoon light hits the walls.
The undertones in many calming shades can surprise you when they sit next to wood furniture or crisp trim.
In my own bedroom I learned to check samples at multiple times of day because what looks peaceful at noon can feel too cool by evening.
That step alone has saved me from colors that end up feeling flat rather than restful.
It pays to test first.
