I understand that using a 5000K booth for viewing is standard but isnât this standard more realistic in office-type atmospheres where Fluorescent lighting is abundant? If one is printing a digital fine art print that is expected to be viewed in a gallery-like atmosphere, isnât 5000K too high of a rating for viewing such work?
Cody,
The following is an excerpt of an email I received from a manufacturer of museum lighting. I was asking if there were any standards governing the lighting of museum displays.

No standard, but check out the website for the American
Association of Museums for publications about lighting. We see balances set
at 3200K or 300K, as well as daylight balances around 5000K, depending on
the strongest ambient source and other physical limitations. The eye works
best seeing small details under low light at warmer temps, below 2800K.. An
overall balance with artificial sources can be easiest set at 3200K as
halogen sources are stable over time and very reliable.>
