I'm trying to make a matching wall and floor set using the color #faf8fa but the colors come out wrong no matter what I do. I want it to look best with outdoor lighting (using this for the background of cc previews).

Why doesn't the color match what I actually used? Why doesn't the wall and floor match despite using the same exact color?

Any help would be really appreciated!!

Lighting is my guess.

Is the season autumn in-game? That gives a warm tint to the lighting.

Are you using a lighting mod?

It was summer but I changed it to winter and got these colors, so it's closer but still not quite there. There's still a noticeable difference between the wall and floor when it's indoors too.

I think I have Gunmod's Radiance Light System but I didn't see a difference when uninstalling it through Scriptorium. So I'm not sure if I have it fully working or not tbh.

I think you will always have a different shade for the floor and wall. If you want your items to have a completely plain background, you could try placing them on an OMSP near a wall. Or use a large lot and cover all of the ground, perhaps.

Did you make sure the TXMT settings are the same? If there are differences there, it can cause the color to look somewhat different.

But yeah - in outside lighting there's always going to be issues with time of day, season and weather. Indoor the items will be influenced by the lights you put up (I usually find the indoor lighting to be a bit less bothersome for pictures, and using windows instead of lights can occasionally help a bit, if you've got a small enough room).

If you need a white background for pictures (or other things), using a single-colored photo background is better than a wall/floor combo (if you need a link I can find one).

Thank you for the suggestions! The TXMT were the same and unfortunately the previews I take depend on the object so some may need a small space while others need a lot. Using the OMSP, a huge room, or a photo background won't work across the board (some objects won't fit on an OMSP, some will show the wall no matter what, others will need a lot of floorspace which the backdrops don't have a ton of)

I was using bright blue colors for the backgrounds and editing it to be the correct color in photoshop, so any transparencies on an object really stood out plus it just took an extra amount of time editing, but thankfully with a little more fine tuning and the winter lighting it's not as noticeable in those transparencies. I'll still need to edit the color overall on the preview pictures but I don't think it'll be as tedious as before.

Again thank you for the help and suggestions!!

Have you tried these? They're quite big, and you can layer them sideways easier than a lot of other backdrops, plus they're easy to recolor:
