I finally got why our color palette made the client angry

Last Thursday I was looking at a proposal we put together for a local restaurant renovation. We used our standard paint color system that works fine on houses and office buildings. But the client said the greens felt wrong and I didn't understand until I stood in their dining room with the afternoon sun coming through. The warm light changed everything about how those colors looked on the wall. Has anyone else had a design system fail because of lighting conditions you didn't account for?

We used a standard system too and it backfired exactly the same way.

Ugh @charles_henderson lighting really does mess everything up.
