And also plan on at least 2 coats @ right angles so any differences are not as
visible. I always use flat paint also.

Plenty of light, with the ability to move lights to see the reflection of wet
paint, and enough to see the color difference between what's dry and what
you're doing now.
I use clamp lights - the ones with the big aluminum reflector - and 100W
equivalent daylight LED bulbs. Even on a small bedroom I like at least 3
lights to get light everywhere I want it.
