Rosco E-Colour+ is an optically clear polyester film (PET) coated with a flame retardant dye solution to a precisely controlled thickness and can easily be cut to size for a wide range of applications. Originally designed to change the colour output of theatre lanterns, gels (also known as colour gels, colour filters or lighting gels) are now regularly used for live events, film, photography, architectural installations, art projects and increasingly colour correcting LED light sources.
Please note that the colour filter samples shown on this website are the closest possible display colours and should be used as a guide only. Colour swatch sample books are available and are recommended for exact colour matching.
