    Karen, I had the chance to work in a shop with a flat black floor
    years ago. Now I put A black floor in every shop I set up.  The
    black makes most pieces much easier to find.  The exceptions are
    dark stones such as sapphire and pieces of silver or white cold that
    are covered with fire scale. The black floor does really shows all
    dirt so it seems to force me to sweep more often just making it that
    much easier to find dropped items.
