Pearlescent and silk finishes with sand and glass-bead effects look best under correct lighting—light reveals the full depth of the pattern. Because such materials “reflect” light, they are difficult to tint to an exact color with 100% accuracy: under one angle the material appears one way, and under another—differently; it does not provide a uniform solid surface like ordinary interior paint. These materials love direct, directional light and look great in any interior. With the right color choice, they can easily complement any color and material.
