The new carpet seems designed to keep hallways clear by maximizing eyestrain. I fear a photo won't do it justice. HP Lovecraft might.

Carpet made up of alternating light and dark squares with pin stripes.

The photo doesn’t do it justice. It’s yellower, and the sea of pinstripes makes it shimmer to the eyes. Looking along an entire hallway, the pinstripes get narrow enough that I could swear it produces moire patterns on the retina.
