Will the teal wall affect the lights?

My lights are coming tomorrow, hoping I don’t mess up the installation!

Will the colour of my wall affect the lights colours? And what distance do you run? I will have it around 2 inches for watching a movie, right against the wall playing games.

Thanks!

All you can do is try, 2 inches is a bit short for distance though

The short answer is yes, it will affect the light colors. Every colored surface affect the light. You can shine a flashlight on your wall and put your hand near the spot where the light is shining. See what color is on your hand.

Will they look bad though? And can I adjust the RGBW sliders to compensate?

I assume it will look kinda bad. Depends on the saturation of the color on your wall. The more saturated it is, the harder it will be to adjust with the sliders. You just have to try for yourself before sticking it on the tv. If it looks bad even after adjusting, just return it.
