The Best Paint Colors for Low-Light Rooms

Choosing the best paint color for a room is tricky enough, requiring at the very least putting paint swatches up on the walls for a few days to make certain you know what the color looks like in every light before committing. But when a space lacks natural light, when it travels from dim to dimmer to dark as the day progresses, choosing a paint color becomes even more challenging. Colors that are too muted or too cool can make sun-deprived interiors feel uninviting. Instead, play up the light from lamps and overhead fixtures with lighter, warmer shades to visually expand dark spaces and create a welcoming atmosphere for you and your guests.
