Hmmm. I think this is all unreasonably difficult. How on earth are you supposed to get the relevant trade name from stage lighting, unless you happen to be in the business?


Google is your friend, in this, and in all things Smile Posted them correctly as above. You can find them yourself at

 		I still don't see how you are supposed to get started on this without being given the name of the manufacturer. What exactly do you google initially that leads you do it? Obvious things like stage lighting lead to huge numbers of hits that do not seem to feature the required info at all prominently. More specific googles like r059 lead to all kinds of irrelevance and googling "stage lighting" r059 is a dead end (no hits).

[I am not asking who the manufacturer is or what sites have the info about the filters. I now have all that and entered the solution some while ago. I am just asking you could get this without someone else giving you the name of the manufacturer.]

 		To complete EvilGenius' list:

R346 = Tropical Magenta


It's pretty much impossible to find all the numbers on one list.

Well, you could
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
google stage lighting R337 and discover that virtually every result on the first page not only mentions ROSCO in the brief text but also mentions several RXXX numbers along with their colors. All you need is the realization that this is about stage lighting - no hint needed for that thanks to the white symbols and the background - and nearly any of the R numbers (except the two digit ones with an extraneous zero at the front since the catalog omits those zeros; using 059 would be an unfortuate choice). It's really quite easy to sort out, finding all the filters on one list is more work. I spend all my time looking for a good list, not trying to figure out the R numbers.

 		By the way, for those interested in why the spacing of the symbols is as it is...

You've got slightly more time to get this message in lights than those on the London Eye did ;)

All of the filters can be found in the supergel catalog on the rosco site. And as for the end result just search for it on the rosco site without the leading R. It couldn't be easier

 		Interesting! Thanks, evilgenius. I guess I was just unfortunate in my choice of R number to google. I should have tried more!

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
R 82213


But I cannot find any gel that corresponds to that number.
Is the answer a color? Or just those numbers?

 		mama, even with spoilers you may have noticed people are not posting the actual solves for blacks and silvers. Leave a little work for the player.
