Colored gobo artworks are created by layering dichroic glass over a wafer base. Much like how a printer combines cyan, magenta & yellow to create all colors of the visual spectrum, full colored gobos require specific combinations of primary color layers.
However, since light-sources vary in color temperature and white balance, the specific hues & tones of primaries required to create a specific color will vary between luminaires.
Below are two charts that demonstrate the expected appearance of each standard color (eg. Orange 587) with the two respective light-source types.
Be aware, we cannot guarantee the exact match of your colors in the resulting projection due to variations in ambient lighting and projection surfaces. The color of a projected image will always vary from the print color as there is only limited control over the projection environment.
