We are setting up "Brighton Beach Memoirs". Its inside a house, upstairs and downstairs with a lot of floral wallpaper. The time is 1937. Our lights are currently gelled with Roscoe 'Bastard Amber #02'. But the director doesn't think that is warm enough. I've looked at some other gels like Roscoe's Dark Bastard Amber #03 but worried the faces may be too dark or red. Anyone run this play have an idea?
And on the subject of gels, I was left a box with hundreds of different color gels cut for our Fresnel lamps (7.5 x 7.5) - All mixed up! Sorting them using the Roscoe color swatch booklet is a real pain. Is there any app or actual device that can look at a gel (or any transmitted light) and give you its name or RGB content? I know a painter who has a handheld device, but it's for use face down on solid surfaces.
