A goodalternative, in my opinion, is an
RGBAW or RGBUV, they give you a slightly larger spectrum.
As I noted in my post, most of the lights I am using are either RGBAL or RGBAWUV. My issues with this are that a pure blue is about R80 if I want R382 the various calculators tell me to add red. The issue is that this makes magenta instead of darker blue. I have expirmented with adding UV but there isn't enough punch in the UV
circuit to show up.
Sk8rsdad I will definitely expirment with the complimentary color. Do you have an angle that you find works well with this method. I am thinking high side but would love to hear about your experience.
As to the dress issue yes lighting and
white balance do affect color, but I have yet to have a
scenic designer agree to repaint a set so that my lights look the way I want. Perception is what I am trying to create. R27 in an 8"
fresnel has a blood quality that is nuanced. I have tried adding amber or lime to the colordash
par red it just looks muddy. I don't want bright happy red I want menacing red.
Thanks for everyone's input.
