Using primary colours, you lose about 80% of your light before you start, added to that as you dim down the lamps the blue end of the spectrum disappears, so use the lightest colours you can, to get the most light through, magenta, amber, blue-green and medium blues are all worth considering, but it is much better to choose colours for a piece than trying for a generic, do everything, rig.
