I'll agree with that one, but I just keep adding more light fixtures. I'd rather have a lot of bulbs than a dead white room- but that probably comes from living in and working on apartment buildings for several years where *everything* was painted white, so I can hardly bear to look at white rooms anymore.

Personally, I wouldn't like an all-white room, even for a workshop. Would you? What color would make it most comfortable for you? What color or finish would help put you in the frame of mind to be inspired?
Obviously there are practical limitations - if it's too dark you'll need light fixtures right on every work area. Gloss can have harsh reflections. Otherwise, personal taste.
Researchers found that pink helps calm down inmates... might be useful for coping with high stress situations in the shop.
Not in my shop mind you. ;-)

I hoped I wouldn't have had to see the original message, and can only suggest that anyone not capable of making an adult decision about something like this should stay away from anything sharp and get a new hobby [besides trolling that is.]

That's only becuse you're not thinking. Go in the bathroom, sit down, engage the brain, think about it. After you get your machines, tools, and whatevers in, it woundln't be an all-white room anymore, now would it? You want color? Hang pictures of Roy and Norm up.
