# Why does a white paint color look different at home than in a retail showroom? | Time Paints

Commercial showrooms utilize balanced lighting systems engineered between 4000K and 5000K to simulate accurate daylight, which stabilizes paint undertones. Residential rooms rely on a mix of natural sunlight and warm 2700K artificial light, causing the paint layer to reflect different wavelengths. This physical shift changes how the human eye perceives the color throughout the day.
