Hi all. I'm looking to buy some new parcan filters for lighting bands (basically static ambient lights). Although green seems to be a real no-no, I really like the combination of blue and (aqua?) green for this purpose. A good example of this combo (albeit using lasers) is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Classical_spectacular_laser_effects.jpg

Can anyone recommend two filter colours similar to this combo, for Par 56 cans?

Any help much appreciated.

Standard sources, but I'd have a look on the Lee Filters (http://www.leefilters.com/lighting/) and Rosco (http://www.rosco.com/uk/index.asp) websites for some idea at the typical range out there...

I'd also have a look on the CPC website, at their stock of Chris James Filters (http://cpc.farnell.com/jsp/search/browse.jsp;jsessionid=305SMM0OTVC32CQLCIPZK0Q?N=41 1&Ntk=gensearch_003&Ntt=chris+james&Ntx=&suggestions=false&searchTerm=chris+james&_requestid=203550)

and then read of this http://www.onstagelighting.co.uk/band-lighting/band-lighting-gels-best-filter-colours-to-light-your-gig/
