Lighting & Textures in PAINT or DIE
Neon maps shift perceived paint hue. Reflective props show unpainted edges. Matte drywall forgives rough coats. Your sample must come from the exact triangle you face under that map’s lights.
Neon and saturated maps
Boost saturation mentally when sampling looks dull—Seekers see neon spill on unpainted joints. Prefer props that block light spill onto your outline.
Matte interior maps
Best for first-week learning. Sample once, paint broad, freeze early. Seekers win via missed doorways, not color perfection.
