So many things ring true on your post! I hadn't considered how the darkroom lighting could be affecting my photos and I'm often surprised at how different they look once I get home. I'll be taking this into account now!
Best of luck with your project. What a positive way to reaffirm what's important during these challenging times.

Somewhere deep in @RalphLambrecht and Chris Woodhouse's excellent "Way Beyond Monochrome" is a recommendation for a print viewing light set to a standard illumination level. If ever I have a permanent darkroom again, that will be one of the first things I install.
