How do you manage reflective colors?

[Lonelamp1]

I'm working on a small project for myself, trying to learn the ins and outs of this tool and I'm having a slight problem. In my project I have a greenish carpet which reflects the color on the surrounding items and it looks weird, too weird. Is there are way to manage this and at least reduce the amount?

@Lonelamp1 okey, from my experience, here's the quick fix: Desaturate the Carpet's Material, make the carpet's actual green color a bit less vibrant. It'll still look green, but bounce less intense color. also reduce carpet's Brightness/Value, check GI saturation. start with the carpet material's own color settings. hope it helps!

Color spill cos green is a strong hue If you're doing post in something like blender or after effects, adjusting the material properties or using light linking to separate how objects are lit should be quite helpful or you can also tone down the reflectivity or adjust global illumination settings

Gave this a quick try and it seemed to work. It doesn't eliminate the light entirely, but it's not as bad as it was before. I'll poke around a bit more when I have some more free time and I think I'll manage to fine tune it in a way that I like it. Thanks a bunch!
