Natural lighting:
Natural lighting is based on climate and time of day. It has a full spectrum of colors and also reflects colored temperatures. Definitions in light are the reflections of brightness and the physical reflections they display. Reflected surfaces can change natural lighting by the color and brightness coming into an environment.
