For getting the colour temperature just right: I have smart LED bulbs in my apartment, that can scan through a wide range of off-whites. If you get those you can dial it in without buying a bunch of different bulbs. They also have dimming so you can get the brightness how you want it. I would recommend getting 3 if you want a decent sized room to be bright everywhere. Not sure if that's a typo on "10 foot square room" since that would be less than 1 m^2 which is closet sized. Also I wouldn't worry about what colour you paint the walls as long as it's some sort of white.
I assume 10 foot square room is a square room with sides 10ft long, rather than 10 square feet.
Also pretty sure they're painting pictures, not the walls, and I do enjoy the image of a painter cramming themselves next to an easel and then using 3 lights to simulate the sun.
