What color is that gel? .I know this is posting under Control Consoles; never-the-less, I WANT IT!!

1. Pre-sort by colour, size, and texture as best you can before reaching for a swatch book, tossing out any that are in bad shape as you go.
2. Take each pile and match them with various vendor swatch books by placing them on a white background side-by-side with the swatch book. The texture should help narrow down which vendor swatch book to use.
3. Label each gel with a grease pencil so you never have to go through this exercise again.
4. Tie the grease pencil to your cutting table so the next person to cut gel doesn't have any excuse.

For the High Tech solution: get a color meter ($$$)

There are apps of course if you have a smartphone.

wish I had space for designated stuff, such as a cutting table. Even designated repair area would be nice. Fortunatly the 'problem' has graduated, others r willing to learn proper procedure. Otherwise I already do that.

Thanks for confirming my fear.
