Director wants yellow light projected onto his actors. Which filters over white light to achieve this effect?

Question

A. Red & Blue?

B. Blue & Green?

C. Green & Red?

D. Cyan & Magenta?

Answer 1

None of the above, actually. Go buy and use a yellow cell designed exactly for that reason. Stage lighting cells come in all the standard colors and are designed for this purpose.

If you want a yellow hue you use a yellow cell. If you want a blue effect you use a blue cell. It's really that simple.

You can buy cells at any store that caters to theater arts or if there are none near you most art stores carry colored plastic sheets that work nicely as cells.

Answer 2

D. Cyan and Magenta both of them together you will get a yellow.

Answer 3

probably blue and green. however, thier is a much better way of doing it: natural light from multiple angles produce a yellowy effect known as a mandrane.
