I just moved into a new apartment. It is definitely an upgrade from the last place. And unlike most places, it actually has color on the walls. Now I'm not complaining, because it does look really nice, but with the walls AND the floors being tan colored, it's a little bland. So I was picking through my Roscolux swatch book looking at different gels when I got to thinking. Why not gel my lights?
I don't really have any overhead lights, especially in my bedroom. Those are only those frosty cube lights from IKEA. They use CFL's which have an extremely low color temperature (oddly enough).
So I was putting the tabs from my swatch book on the inside of the glass and seeing how it looked through the white diffusion. I'm interested how this experiment would look large scale. Going with primary blue cyc diffusion might be a bit much. Especially when I need to use the lights for actual visibility and not just to set the mood.
So I'm thinking about ordering a few sheets of some higher transmission valued colors and see what works best for my bland bedroom.
