Oh, man. This is all making me so sad. The whole reason we got two new sun tubes in the living room was to pull in full spectrum light, but now I find that in order to counter the blue cast from these things, I might have to add more cast. What I will say is that if your have the 14" sun tunnels from Velux, they sell a "neutral light" filter that is spec'd at around 3600K, so, not sure how that compares to using a theater gel, but it might work for some people, and you don't have to cut it yourself. For my purposes, I am going to have to do some other experimenting, because I need more of the spectrum, not less of it (for me to do artwork, but also my plants). If anyone has been able to track down the source of the bluing (is it the diffuser, or the inside of the tube, or possibly the dome on top?), that would be a huge help. Of course, I will check for the blue film! Thank you all! Addendum: I just took the diffuser out and looked at the light coming in, and it is definitely not the diffuser causing the bluing, nor is there a film in there. It's the top dome I think. I conveniently have an older sun tube in my bathroom that does not do the bluing thing, and it also does not have a tinted dome on top, so that seems like the main difference between them. Now I am wondering if the dome can be replaced maybe with something not tinted...

POPULAR SCIENCE: Getting C*vid more than once might be even worse than we thought Getting C*vid more than once might be even worse than we thought A new study finds increased risk of future hospitalization, organ failure, and even death from repeat C*vid-19 infections. Read in Popular Science: https://apple.news/AgvLzx1VCR9mJf229mRvgig ”… Nov 10, 2022 | 6:00 AM Infection with COVID-19 brings with it the possibility of a high fever, dry hacking cough, and losing taste and smell. But, even months down the road, it carries the risk of developing long-COVID after infection, or getting sick with the virus all over again. The elusive virus is really good at evading the immune system, so it’s possible to be infected with COVID-19 multiple times per year, sometimes within only 90 days. Those 🔺re-infections are proving to be risky, according to the results of a new study published today in the journal Nature Biology. The research from a team at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis and the Veterans Affairs St. Louis Health Care system found that repeat infections with the virus contributes to significant additional risk to multiple organ systems in the body.” ”.“…

Well, you’ve now had the “color expert“ provide you with the info you needed re: HRW and Extra White. FYI - I’ve heard that some SW stores will ”doctor” their Extra White base in order to provide “HRW” to a customer for a line that doesn’t offer it - BUT it won’t be an exact match to HRW. Lori - I was drawing blank re: Renner and Milesi when I posted yesterday! I knew it was 2k (or sometimes 1k) polys - but I could not remember any product names! FYI, Lori has many great posts about color - and how to select ones that will work with each other. It’s technical - but easy to understand. I’ve searched ”Houzz” and “Lori A. Sawaya” + whatever issue I need an answer for re: paint colors - and have always found very detailed information that she’s already posted for someone else before (example, “how to select white paint color for trim”). I’ve kind of been her Internet stalker! You could use Chantilly Lace on your cabinets - since it will be a different sheen, the color will look different on the cabinets when next to your walls (in a good way)

We used SW Aesthetic White in our house with lots of windows. Have not yet seen the "violet undertones" that SW says it has (a good thing!); it is very neutral in all lights.
