With digital, start with the following:
1. Use "Cool White" fluorescent lamps. Avoid the "Warm White" lamps.
2. Set the camera's WB to "daylight" or 5500K
3. Shoot RAW
4. When converting the RAW, leave the WB Kelvin slider at 5500K and adjust the M/G (Magenta/Green) slider as necessary. You may find that with modern Cool White lamps you need to move the slider a bit toward the green to simulate the look of fluorescent lamps from 20-40 years ago.
5. After RAW conversion, you may find that decreasing the color saturation of the red channel, by itself, improves the simulation.
