backlight

I spoke to a lighting guy recently who said he uses special lavender as backlight in almost everything he does as it complements colours in both the red and blue spectrums. Would this work? I've used it as backlight for a blue state in the past but nothing else. Any feedback is most grateful. Thanks.

Gels in the Lavender range are usually classed as 'neutral' colours, meaning that they can compliment both a warm (Yellows-Reds) and a cool (Blues) lighting palette. I use Lavender a lot in both side and backlighting mainly for this reason as often I don't have the lighting channels or lamps to have two colours of backlight, but I would make the following suggestion, the only way you are really going to find out how/if it works is to have a go and try it for yourself, a sheet of Lee is going to cost you less than a fiver, I would try with a medium tint such as L137 and have a play, see what works for your production style.

I guess we all have our own colour pallette.

 

Surely one would fancy a change from L137 at least once a year, right?

 

However, perhaps you should discover you own? As Ken says................ is it suited to the peice?
