However, light colours are so well loved and popular for a reason, and they have many benefits.

Pros of Painting Rooms with Light Colors:

1. They are the safe choice: If you are going to spend hours on end in a particular room, you want to be looking at walls in a colour that is not too offensive to your eyes. Lighter colours rarely clash with furniture, making them into a great choice (specially if you are on a budget).
2. Colour theory: Colour theory tells us that every colour elicits a particular emotion in us: red excites us and opens our appetite, blue calms us down and enhances our focus, purple is good for creativity… and while saturated, darker colours might bring forth those emotions too strongly, making us feel irritated and annoyed; lighter colours give off a soft, calm and welcoming impression which will make your house extra cozy.
3. More light: Darker, saturated colours tend to not reflect light very well; however, lighter colours help the light bounce off the walls and help your house look like it is getting more sunlight than it actually has (which is particularly great if you live in a house with tiny windows).
4. They can help your house feel bigger: Neutral, lighter colours can make your rooms feel bigger as they blend the edges of walls and make them less noticeable to the eye. They can also make ceilings seem taller 

Conclusion

All in all, darker colours might be more trendy right now, but you can never go old with the old reliable, crowd favourite light colours.
