10. Another thing to consider

Is what direction the natural light comes from that lights the room. If light is from the north paint colors will appear cooler, slightly bluish, so if that is the case and you have a choice of two colors you may like, say two taupes and you want a warmer look to the room they you would look at what colors are added to the paint. For example, if there are warm colors added red or yellow it will look warmer than a taupe with blue added to it. Conversely if light is coming from the south it will make a room appear warmer. If you want to cool the look of the room choose a paint with cool colors added to it. This is why large paint chips are a good idea to make sure you like the color in the room.
