      nuts and bolts It seems like it was in the late ‘90s when they started trying out the whole “hey why don’t we make this place look nice” idea. Before that it was white or beige everywhere with maybe a “brand” color like red or blue. There’s a nostalgic feel to those beige and red stores, but I definitely go for the dark lighting, wood toned modern stores.

      There are some neat articles you can Google that came out a few years ago about the research into the best color temperature lighting to show off produce and such. I remember a thing about different temps used in the meat department, which primarily had red merchandise, versus produce, which had a lot of green.
