merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 08/27/2021 07:53 am The type of light you use will influence the finished colour. Use regular indoor lights and the result is orange. Daylight gives you the best "true colour" plus defuses the light, so if possible, use daylight without any other lighting source for the best results. Report this Post to the Staff
