CHANGING COLOURS

Morning everyone! I thought this was a great example of how colour changes so dramatically under different light conditions and therefore why you need to test a colour so thoroughly before you finally confirm it. 

The colour on the living room walls of thelittlewildfarm here is Farrow & Ball’s Setting Plaster, which is quite a warm hue of pale pink. However at times and in certain conditions it can also look like a very neutral pink. 

I captured this video just as the late afternoon sun emerged from behind a cloud changing the natural light through the window from slightly cooler (bluer) light to the full on warmth of the golden afternoon sun. 

So this West facing wall opposite the window shifts from neutral pink to almost orange within a few seconds. 

The ceiling is Setting Plaster mixed 50:50 with white and you can see the same change happen there. 

So when you see a colour in a photo or on instagram that you like, remember that you’re only seeing it in one particular light condition and in the context of one particular set of colours (and that’s a whole other story!). 

So remember to test a colour thoroughly by painting several 1 to 2 meter strips of wallpaper lining paper, taping it up to different walls in the room and leaving them there for several days, so that you can see the colour under all the different light conditions. 

Save this post as a reference for how Setting Plaster (and other pinks) can change colour. 

Having said that, I will be posting a Part 2 of the colours you ask about most soon!
