Re: Specifications for colour viewing station.
@ nothernlights
Without a definition on what you are trying to accomplish, well, this can vary widely. Are we in the business where we are color correcting digital photography that needs to match fabric swatches, and we need to simulate a printing condition ? Even if you answer 'yes' this thread can quickly become a hotly debated thread !
Okay, so, as swatch matching would require that we all agree on the idea that you are needing a viewing booth that can accommodate a comparison between a physical proof and a monitor.
I will assume that you have already made your decisions about Adobe RGB 1998 vs sRGB, PDF/X-1a vs PDF/X-4 and exactly what Output internet and color policies you will use.
helpful hit - do this BEFORE you BEGIN to concern yourself with the design of the "Specifications for colour viewing station"
Okay, well, then I would start here;

Even if you have a graphic arts supplier or color management expert whom you trust and are smitten with, you can never know enough about this.
And there is a LOT to know about this.
