Color Call

A listing, with manufacturer and name, of each gel used on a plot. With four major manufacturers each making over 100 colors, a list of only the colors used makes life easier for the Master Electrician or for whomever is doing the take-offs and avoids confusion between the brands.

The Color Call is usually placed near the Key on the plot. Sometimes the following is inserted into the Notes section instead/as well:
Color Media:
All "R" (or "RX") prefixes indicate Roscolux.
All "L" prefixes indicate Lee Filters.
All "G" prefixes indicate GamColor.
All "AP" (or "A") prefixes indicate ApolloGel.
The Color Call differs from a Color Key, in that the former is only a list, whereas the latter includes a representation of angle, and may not include every color.
