Depends on what you want to do. A red filter will deepen the blues and lighten the reds. Think of it as absorbing the red light, or whatever the color of the filter might be. A green filter will lighten foliage and deepen the warmer tones a bit. It works nicely with people who are overly pale. Sometimes. A yellow will deepen the blues a bit but not as much as the red filter. Sometimes trial and error is the only way to gauge the overall effect. I use those filters from time to time. They work well.
