I bought myself a full spectrum bulb a few years ago and it had a pale blue tint I wondered if it had something to do with the color of the sky to help plants. But this is only a guess

Yes, I'd agree to go with a nice blue tone pleasing to your eyes or a subdued yellow, as such nicely sets plants off and also keeps the room bright.

I did get it painted. We had a yellow paint that we used in another room but it was a bit darker so we thinned it down with some white and got a really nice pastel yellow color. Really brightens up the room. There are cupboards along one side so I plan to get some blue and white tiles for between the cupboards and counter. Since it is a room I will be using for planting, and I'm messy, I decided to get some paint for the floor, the kind they use in garages. I'm also planning on putting the same tile in the kitchen.

Sounds like you'll be achieving a nice look with the colors selected. Any chance of later posting a photo or two?

It'll be a while before it's done because we still have a lot to do. I'll post pics when it's all done.

can't wait to see them
