The launch of the Roscolux range in Europe was welcomed by both US and European lighting designers. The wider availability of the range assures them easy access to these colours for shows on both sides of the Atlantic, as well as the opportunity to use colours that have been standard for American designers for 30 years.

“I have always felt comfortable using the Roscolux family of colors,” says US lighting designer Kirk Bookman. “It offers the full range of saturated colors, middle ranges and tints. The continuing addition of colors keeps my personal color palette fresh. I have always been able to count on the color durability and consistency through the years.”

Rick Fisher concurs: “It is great that Roscolux is available in Europe, particularly as it now gives designers access to some of the subtler shades that have been so useful in the US. I have already used Rosco 302 (Pale bastard amber) for a play at the Royal Court Theatre, where it provided just the right amount of warmth without appearing too much of a colour.”

"I'm delighted to see that Roscolux is now available in Europe - no need for sneaky imports any more!” adds Hugh Vanstone, LD for Spamalot. “It fills a few gaps in the Supergel range, particularly in the subtle blues which I find very useful."

The addition of Roscolux to Supergel, E-Colour and Cinegel brings the total Rosco filter offering to almost 500 colours and diffusers, available in Europe from stock.
