I know that many others have done similar examples of their favorite Lee filters with the AS MLS units, however, not too many (or any?) of them posted the full range of colors and the names of the filters for those who are just starting out.
I wanted to show the full range of colors and to give the names of the filters both for those who already have them and for those who are contemplating color filters instead of a single color blade. However, there are so many that it would take months to photograph and label them all; so I thought, why not do it like a page-a-day calendar. Perhaps when it's finished I could compile it all together by color, but for now it will be random, and thus, perhaps, a little more fun. I suppose I might take recommendations, too...
I will post one picture in full light, and one in complete darkness. All photos are taken for the color of the blade, and I found the best representation I can get is with auto focus and HDR settings on my iPhone5. It gets REALLY close to the actual color, especially if you look at the light splotch on the back wall.
Finally, please note that my saber is TWO white LEDs, and not a single MLS unit, so there may be some minor illumination discrepancies, but 1+1 != 2 with brightness, it is closer than you might think.

I also like Jade. Peacock Blue is a nice cyan as well.

August 9, 2013 Just Blue This is a very nice deep blue. It can be a little dark in direct light, but it's not bad at all. One of my favorites.   |

If I might ask, how are you cutting your filters? I have a 1" punch but it doesn't seem to do a great job (bends the film more than cuts). Just curious.

I just take a color disc and put filter on filter and cut around ... If you don't have color discs take cardboard or heavy paper and cut match the blade then use that as your stencil.

I use a 1" punch as well, it's not perfect, but I typically do one cut, then rotate 90 degrees and cut again. That usually gets me a mostly round filter. The edges aren't all that important anyways, at least not with the heat sink I have. |

glad to know I'm not the only one who has trouble cutting them with the 1" punch. I thought the punch I bought was just a piece of junk.

August 11, 2013 VANITY FAIR A very, very bright neon pink. If I ever used a pink saber, it'd be this one. Get the bad guy confused for sure.   |
