I'm having trouble finding an answer to a question, though I've looked in a few places.
I'm writing a story in the 1st person past tense. But in some cases I'm describing things that still apply at the present within the story's timeline. (The walls are/were green, etc.)
My question is this: Should I try to express that these things are still true--by using present tense in these specific cases--or will that be overly confusing if there are only a few such cases?
Sorry if this should go somewhere else, and thanks to anyone who can help me out.
