Using winter in your home
Use Winter colors in sunny rooms that need cooling or small rooms where mood is welcome. North light can make Oceanic Lake and Admiral Blue type shades nearly black. South light keeps pale blue gray cleaner. Pair with warm white, silver, walnut, soft black, stone, or camel. The warning is bulb temperature. Cool white LEDs can make Winter walls feel sterile.
