Your going to get back to white REAL fast. If you want to do this, look at the Cal Color range in the rosco line. Select your saturation and go for it. I have lit shows with these colors. It actually works to a degree, but not like you would expect. For the show I did it with it got me a lot of tropical colors which is what I was going for. You can not use additive color mixing (RGB) though with subtractive colors (CMY) to get the same effect as subtractive color mixing in a moving light. What you actually get is the light quickly goes to white without mixing to anything at most intensity's.
As said above, this won't work. Use one fixture with a three-string (Morpheus ColorFader) or two-string (Apollo MXR / Wybron CXI) scroller instead.I was wondering if anyone had any gel color suggestions for pure Cyan, pure Magenta, and pure Yellow so I can get the best CMY color mixing options. The idea is to have three Pars, one C, one M, and one Y, focused to the same point to mix back to white.
Close, and more traditional: R95, R10, R46, but certainly aren't as pure.CalColor Filters
A patented system of pure primary & secondary colors, in gradient steps, for calibrated additive or subtractive color mixing. The AMPAS recognized CalColor with an Academy Award® for its unique ability to create pure, uncontaminated colors for camera.
It's not been stated clearly but to do what you're after will require you use Red, Green & Blue Gel, with a single colour per PAR.
Red & Green mixed will give Yellow, Red & Blue mixed will give Magenta/Pink, Blue & Green mixed will give Cyan/Aqua.
All 3 mixed will give white (ish).
We use this principle for our Cyc lighting.
The actual Gel colours you use will be up to personal preference & experimentation, but we use Lee 106 Primary Red, Lee 139 Primary Green, and Lee 195 Zenith Blue.
