Setting up my home facial area and the wall color is all wrong
I thought painting my spare room a calm blue would be perfect for client facials. But under my treatment lights, it makes skin tones look weird and washed out. Now I have to repaint, which means moving all my equipment again. In my experience, choosing colors for a treatment space is harder than it seems. Your mileage may vary, but I wish I had tested samples first. Take this with a grain of salt, but learn from my mistake.

Blue walls under facial lights? Way to give your clients an unexpected zombie makeover. Carr.elliot's beige turning pumpkin orange is just as bad for business. I'm starting to think paint companies are in cahoots with the makeup industry to sell more corrector creams. What's the most ridiculous color fail you've dealt with?

Feel your pain on that one. Picked a nice neutral beige for my own studio that turned into full pumpkin orange under the lights. Clients looked like they had a bad fake tan. Lesson learned the hard way that paint chips lie. Always test a big patch with your actual equipment before you commit. That blue probably looked so peaceful on the little card.

That blue turning clients pale is such a bummer, and @taraanderson is right about the zombie effect. Lighting really does change everything about a color. Testing a big patch first is the only safe move.
