Rosco has approximately 170
colors and frosts listed in their Roscolux swatch book. Many more items are
available in their Cinegel and CalColor swatch books. Their numbering system is
starting to get a little scattered but falls into these basic (and subjective) categories:
1-24: Ambers and Yellows.
25-27: Reds
30-339: Pinks
40-342: More Reds
43-46: More Pinks
47-359: Purples and Lavenders
60-385: Blues
86-96: Greens
97-98: Grays
99: Chocolate
100-163: Frosts
3202-3318: Color Correction
Note the 300 series colors are listed with the sub 100 series
colors. This is because 300 series colors are the newer (and some say sexier) Rosco
colors. So if you were flipping through their swatch book it would go 60-No color
blue, 360 Clearwater, 61 Mist Blue, 62 Booster Blue, 362 Tipton blue, 63 Pale Blue, etc.
