Paint color and lighting

Two pictures taken at the same time that show how lighting changes paint color. The first is without flash, the second with flash.



This color was changing to pea green at night, it took me days to realize it was because of the energy efficient compact flourescent bulbs which give off a blue-green hue. With halgoen or incandescent,where the hue is warmer, the color is totally different--a color true to the acutal color.
