ResearchColor gamut, not just lux, shapes how bright a room looks
Two experiments at Pennsylvania State University show that light with a larger color gamut (TM-30 Rg) and less saturated reds makes a room look brighter at the same illuminance. Melanopic light, which targets the eye's daylight-sensing cells, raised brightness only at 4700 K and 40 lx and lowered it at 2800 K and 120 lx. Published in Building and Environment, November 2026.
