How can I use color filters in my lighting setup?

Color filters can enhance your lighting by changing the color temperature and mood. What type of project are you working on?

For theater, warm colors like amber and red create a cozy atmosphere, while cool colors like blue can evoke calmness. What mood are you aiming for?

I want to create a dramatic effect for a suspense scene.
