Paint colors can cast differently depending on the lighting in the space. All light, especially natural light, will make an impact. Learn about rooms that get natural light from the west and discover the best paint colors to balance out “western exposure” below.
White paint colors that provide varying levels of cool blue tones are best to balance out the warm cast of west-facing lighting.
Use a slightly cool-toned gray to balance out the warm tones typical for a west-facing room and breathe elegance into the space.
A greige or neutral with cool undertones can help to counterbalance the golden rays of a room with western exposure and ground the amber-toned light.
As the direction of the sun changes throughout the day, rooms with a lot of western exposure will benefit from beautiful golden-hour lighting. Cooler hues can bring a softness to the space as the lighting becomes more direct later in the day.
