Lighting Zones = Layered Colors
Don’t forget: with lighting zones, you can:
- Use warm white on the front while the patio glows with soft blues.
- Create pathway lighting in subtle tones while the roofline celebrates a holiday.
- Separate your garage or backyard with a unique palette for guests.
Layering colors lets you get creative without going overboard.
Tips for Choosing the Right Combo
- Stick to two colors max for most themes (too many can look cluttered).
- Test different brightness levels—dimmer lights often feel more elegant.
- Save your favorite combinations as presets for fast re-use.
- Use contrasting colors only for holidays or bold celebrations.
Less is more when it comes to everyday glow.
