Best lighting

Which type of lighting would you lot say is better for a map:

• Having the conventional light that wee all see on a regular basis.
• Having colored lighting. Such as red, green, ect.

I'd say it really depends on what style you are going for a map... so honestly, I like both. Colored lighting is good for "themed" maps in my opinion (helish etc) and conventional is just all around acceptable... but occasionally boring

I agree (bugger, I forgot to put 'both' up!).

I think that coloured maps are OK when they aren't too coloured (more than one light source or light hue of colour).

Sure... depends on setting. If you are near a sun. An orange glow is ubiquitous. I prefer the cool blue of like an ice field type map.
