I started to reply with some technical info, but instead have the following
recommendations.  This may be obvious, but instead of worrying about light
temperature, etc., these simple steps will improve any color managed
workflow:

1. Environment is stable, not affected by sunlight shifts during the day,
similarly lit during evening and night.

2. Comfortable - I hate flourescent lighting, so have put 4 floor lamps with
Natural-spectrum incandescant bulbs.  

3. Hoods on all workstations.

4. Viewing station for prints.  This will let you view your print work under
a variety of lighting, without having to change the lighting in your studio.


If you can come up with this environment, you will be able to profile and
rely on your displays for soft proofing in the best-possible degree.  The
biggest trouble I've seen in any studio is the awesome window with a view,
right in front of the Photoshop workstation...  from early morning to night,
the ambient light is constantly changing, making it totally impossible to
rely on a display profile.

p.s. - I don't know how there would be a difference between lcd and crt...
