A. White Walls

White walls are incredibly versatile, offering a clean and neutral backdrop that allows for maximum creativity with Poplight color choices. Whether you prefer subtle elegance or bold contrasts, white walls provide the perfect canvas to experiment with different lighting effects.

For a clean, understated aesthetic, stick to white or matte black. If you want to make a striking impact go with high-contrast colors like blue or vermillion red, or create a cozy warmth with tones like dusty rose. Play with vibrant hues like sage green for a dramatic flair. In addition, to achieve a welcoming vibe, set to neutral-to-warm lighting temperatures. 

Additional Tips:

  • If your white walls have cool or warm undertones, match your Poplight accordingly (e.g., cool whites pair well with blue, while creamy whites complement matte black).

  • For an artistic touch, mix and match different Poplight colors in a pattern or gradient effect.
