CRITICAL DESIGN ISSUES:
Color Appearance (and Color Contrast): The appearance of food served in
the dining areas should be vivid and aesthetically pleasing. Often halogen
lamps illuminate food at a point of display. Where fluorescent lamps are
used, they should be specified with a high color-rendering index (CRI).
Appearance of Space and Luminaires: Because officer dining rooms may
also host guests from time to time, carefully consider the aesthetic
character and appearance of the lighting equipment. Additionally, consider
the surfaces and features of the space that should be accented and
illuminated.
Modeling of Faces or Objects: The modeling of food texture and
appearance is especially important where it is displayed and served.
