Conventional Fixtures Favorite Gel Color

My garage is a grid of Dextron on sch.40. To some extent in a shake and bake condo, it does have a good reinforcing structure added with the floor to ceiling shelves or tool tables also bolted to the walls or ceiling, this reinforcement to the pre-manufactured trussing at least over the garage. This even if the added weight might do away with that benefit some. But that's old gear stored at home (somewhere over 40 fixtures) that hopefully will go to work at some point so I can gain more space at home.

Fair enough in response and debate. I view a white light theory presented I credit her to as in the book to concept but do need to re-read again in more than concept presented than what was said. Also while I followed it at times did not always in seeing a special or in that McCandless overall concept in being at times better.
Thanks for the substitute gel by the way. But the book's not over rated. Will re-read and find where this concept I was presented with in it found. But it was useful as a design concepet in general - find the beam angle first, than worry about as needed the gel, and in general a gel is good but is supplement.
My at this point opinin at least.

Well - not in my bedroom - but I have some color kinetics wall washers in my Kitchen to give me color under the counter, and a couple of zip strips over the counter. And some faux baby fresnels on track lights.
And an old PC unit on top of the cabinet - just for decoration..
And some Mole Richardson handles in the on some of the cabinets.
And another PC with stand ( About 6 feet tall ) in my living room as decoration.
Humm - I'm beginning to see a theme here. - And I have not even gotten to the Trompe l'oeil Painting of backstage and pin rail on the wall.
Life is short - have fun with your passions.

Oh yeah, Forgot about Bluetylicious. I remember most of the names in the "new colors" section in my Apollo swatchbook were pretty good.

Rosco 39. "Scelton Exotic Sangria". The most wonderful color ever. It is very good in dream sequences/ fun to look at.
Butfor practial applications, I like r09 for warm, and R62 for cool. They work nicely together. Especially for "inside" lighting. If you have and Iphone or an Ipod touch, you should check out the "Iswatch" app. It only costs $10, and it has almost any gel you could imagine and gives the complementary colors to every gel in its library. Very helpful.

It's likely to not happen for a long time. Apple has signed a contract with AT&T to ONLY sell iPhones with them.

Can't forget "King Congo Blue", and "Yellow Snow"!
Alexander the Grape is my personal favorite. And what better nerdy lighting joke is there than King Congo Blue and Fatherless Amber?

My standard W/C washes are usually:
R04 Medium Bastard Amber
R51 Surprise Pink
Some other favorites are:
R39 Skeleton Exotic Sangria - Always great for specials or washes in some applications.
R60 No Color Blue - Good for creating pale, icy, skin tones resulting in an "uncomfortable" look
R388 Gaslight Green - A very niche gel. Best word I'd use to describe it is nasty. Great for specials and pinspots in a harsh, dark, environment.
My all-time favorite "auxiliary" gel is R119 Light Hamburg Frost. A perfect diffuse for ERSs that makes for a nice even wash.
