VFD Coloring Display
In opposite to LEDs the VFDs have a wide spectrum of visible light. Without of any filter the display shows a blueish green. With a filter foil the look can be shifted in many directions.
A cheap way are filter foils for stage and video lighting. Here some examples:
| Filter foil | Effect | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| without | blueish green | |
| LEE 101 - yellow | old monitor green | |
| LEE 105 - orange | old monitor amber | |
| LEE 118 - light blue | cyan | |
| LEE 180 - dark lavender | blue | |
| LEE 122 - fern green | warm green | |
| LEE 106 - primary red | red | |
| LEE 111 - dark pink | white | |
| LEE 107 - light rose | greenish white | |
| LEE 008 - dark salmon | warm white | |
| LEE 779 - bastard pink | orange white |
