Even halogen lamps with the straightest spectrum will cause problems in the brightest colors. It is not only the spectrum that has to be even. The light intensity must be very high in order to avoid deflection against red. Lamps that provide sufficient brightness warms too much. Therefore, neutral daylight is the only thing that is useable. It has an even spectrum and it is very strong. However, it is not always easy to find. Partly for that reason, we have developed PaintMaker so you can rely on your color mixes even when lighting conditions are bad.

I share the same experience, until now only day light has given me full satisfaction, but it is very inconvenient (changes, available only during the day...). Even with the right color, it is still necessary to work under very good lighting conditions otherwise one can have a very bad surprise when exposed under gallery conditions, which are usually quite intense. Some awkward brushstrokes, local colordisgraceful saturations can be unseen in low light conditions but become very visible under bright light conditions.
I have tried a lot of what exists on the market (incandescent with filter), photo professional adjustable temperature+intensity LED lighting... never being fully satisfied and still searching. One of the problem I faced is that dark colors tend to brighten (black is no longer black !) under intense good quality artificial light conditions (1000 Lux, CRI>95), whereas the same phenomena does not appear when under daylight even with higher light intensity (>1500lux). I assume it is linked to the directionality of the artificial light (intense at a precise angle) but it is just an assumption, I would be curious if someone noticed the same and the reason for that...
