A DARK ROOM
Making It Cheerful
It is often thought that it is necessary only to decorate a dark room in light colours to make it appear much lighter. This is not the case always, because colour values are usually distorted in a room where there is not sufficient light to bring out their qualities. White and cream, for example, sometimes appear grey near a ceiling. Light blues look cold, and pale greens can take on a dirty tinge. One of the best shades is yellow, the more golden in tone the better, while pink, if it has a certain amount of yellow in it, is also good.
