How Galapagos Turquoise changes with the light

North-facing rooms
Galapagos Turquoise will read even deeper in north light: great for a cozy, enveloping room, less so if you want it bright.
East-facing rooms
Galapagos Turquoise will look warmer and brighter in the morning and cooler and grayer by afternoon; check a sample at both times.
South-facing rooms
South light keeps Galapagos Turquoise from feeling heavy, so deep colors work well here.
West-facing rooms
Galapagos Turquoise looks cool in the morning and warms up in the golden late-afternoon light.
