most ppl do not realize that you can basically tell what a party is for by simply analyzing the ambient lighting.

it’s basically the host’s confession of what the party is actually for. e.g. bright = networking event or something professional or company related by hr. candles = romantic as hell. lamps 2700k = way more personal, above that way more professional.

basically the dimmer / temperature is the real tell.
