Color can be very subjective, and there will be many opinions about your color selections. Sometimes you will need to custom mix colors for productions to best match the scenery, costumes and overall design. Importing your favorites or using pre-made colors over and over will result in all your shows looking the same, so I like to make some custom colors for every show. Yet the standards will always be the same, so knowing how to quickly get to full red or yellow is essential. Make use of all the options in your console and fixtures, and you can have a vibrant and colorful production.
