**Overall, the fluorescent bulbs represent the more pure colors. The warm and cool colors can be distinguished. The LEDs turn the fabric’s colors into washed out and whitened ones. MR-16 are relatively similar to the fluorescent bulbs but because of the way the bulbs being used it makes the colors seem brighter than they actually are. The metal halide distorts the fabric colors the most turning them into yellowish hues. It’s also hard to distinguish cooler colors from warmer ones.
