CRITICAL DESIGN ISSUES:
Color Appearance and Contrast: In dining rooms, the color appearance of
food is very important. Dining rooms are also the gathering places for
friends and family, so good color appearance and realistic contrast should
be achieved.
Direct Glare: Direct glare can become a distraction during dinner and
should be avoided by providing appropriate low glare sources for ambient
lighting and by aiming accent lighting away from those seated at the table.
