Contempt for the customer seems big with some people. I use the
traditional definition of warm finishes returning yellows and reds,
cold being whites and blues.


This sentence also picks up on another aspect that is often forgotten,
as I did till I read it. Tungsten lighting produces a yellow light about
2500K where as general normal fluorescent produces a whiter light about
4200K. The yellow light is more relaxing on the eyes, where as the white
is better for detail, hence it its often used in electronics inspection.

I wonder what sort of lighting people tend to use when they display
their works of art?


Sunlight, in my case... all outdoor shows..

I also try to use as much natural light as possible in the shop..
