I captured these photos at the ARC in one of the back rooms when I was closing. The hallway is dark with the EXIT light lit up in red. I've never thought about how ominous the lighting is for a sign that is supposed to show safety (it is procedure to exit through this door and out the emergency door nearby). Should an exit light be this ominous or is it just the connotation that I've associated to it by watching too many scary movies? And the color red has so many connotations, it reminds people of anger, passion, sex, warmth, fire, emergency – is it appropriate in this case?
