It would probably depend on how large your
stage is and what lenses are in your ellipsoidals. If the
stage is relatively small (<30 feet) and you have the usual 6x9s, you may want to consider making three areas (left, center, and right -- each about 8 to 10 feet wide). Use three lights from the left side with a warm
gel (i.e. R02) and three lights from the right side with a cool
gel (i.e. R60 or L201). Overlap the areas a
bit if possible. Perhaps use that R114 in addition to the color gels. Use the last light as a center special or for whatever else you need.
If you decide to use seven lights from the front, try a
neutral color such as R33 (which is a very light pink), R54 (which is a very light lavender).
Another option may be to use five lights for front fills with a warmer or
neutral color (see above) and two lights for side washes of a cooler shade (i.e. R65).
Just some thoughts... totally depends on your room, the instruments, and the mood you need to achieve.
