I painted a wall in my basement medium gray. When a colored light source is projected on it...it reflects the color.

Sample images...

I did the same in a large room I had set up as a darkroom. The walls were all Zone V gray. That worked well for tests, etc.

That is a very impressive demonstration that I was never actually aware of in photographic use. I have used it (med-greys) in wall preparations as a primary coat before applying a specific color to save paint costs. Now ,all I need are the colored lights to project instead and that's a real time saver. Thank you for this great tip. Good Job.

I did the same using flat black Roscoe seamless paper and acetate gels ( much cheaper than colored lights) over my Alien Bee's.
But what ever gets the job done!!!!!

I like the Orange. I try the same effect with a Lastolite background and flash gels on a Magmod MagBounce.

I learned that from a Joe Edleman YouTube video. Pretty neat.

Here is a sample using flat black seamless and a dark blue gel on an Alien Bee B400, the model was lit using another B400 with a 10deg honeycomb grid about 7' above the model.
