Admittedly, I’m a lighting nerd – but isn’t color theory fun?! :)

First of all – would you mind sharing these fantastic photos from your study in our Flickr Photo Pool?

Now that you’re immersing yourself into color theory and complimentary colors, you should look into our Academy Award Winning CalColor system. They are a patented system of gels consisting of primary & secondary colors calibrated for camera in different densities.

To make your greens pop, I would recommend using either CalColor 15 Magenta #4715 or CalColor 30 Magenta #4730. These colors were used, using the same technique you explained, when shooting the movie ‘Kicking and Screaming’ starring Will Ferrell. The movie had a bunch of shoots on soccer fields and they wanted to make the grass look greener.

One final note – have you seen the Rosco Strobist Collection gel kit made for speed light flash units? This gel kit does include the Roscolux 26 that you talked about in your post.

If you’d like to learn more about these Rosco products, feel free to contact me directly.
