Lighting Instrument Color
Lighting Instrument ColorThe gel color of a lighting instrument is specified by the Color parameter in the Object Info palette or Lighting Device dialog box. Define the color by one of these methods.
● RGB values separated by commas (such as 191, 49, 26); values must be between 0 and 255
● Manufacturer color codes, by manufacturer name or abbreviation and color number (such as Gam 650, G 650, G-650, or G650)
● Name of the color as specified in the file’s color palettes (see Applying Colors)
● Web hex values prefixed by the pound sign (such as #003366)
● Combinations of two or more colors (such as R46+R10); the resultant calculated color combination displays, just as when combining actual color filters. Invalid single colors are treated as white when calculating color combinations.
