Comma
The room had bare, white walls.
I walked into the enormous, deserted hall.
On the wall hangs a large, expressionist painting.
Do these need the commas or are they fine too without?

What about 'she walked down a long, dimly lit hallway'? To me it doesn't look much different than the examples above but when I search on google almost every hit I get there's a comma.
And what if there are three adjectives before a noun: 'It was an old narrow ten-floor building' Does that change anything?
