Lee 764 color effect filter from LEE Filters' 700 series, 'Sun Colour Straw', that tints light warm straw yellow for a sunny aesthetic.
Overview
Lee 764 is a color effect filter (Lighting Gel) from the British manufacturer LEE Filters, designated "Sun Colour Straw". It belongs to the 700 series, a range of effect colors that LEE developed together with lighting designers from theater, film, television, and architectural lighting. The filter is placed in front of the light source and tints the transmitted light a warm straw yellow. According to the manufacturer, it is used to add warmth and create an impression of bright sunlight.
Technical Data
The following transmission values are from the official LEE Filters datasheet:
| Light Source | Y Transmission | x | y |
|---|---|---|---|
| Daylight (Source C) | 80.5% | 0.365 | 0.380 |
| Artificial Light (Tungsten, 3200 K) | 82.3% | 0.465 | 0.426 |
Formats
According to the manufacturer, Lee 764 is available in the following formats:
- Sheet: 1.22 m × 0.53 m (48" × 21")
- Half Sheet: 0.61 m × 0.53 m (24" × 21")
- Roll: 7.62 m × 1.22 m (25' × 48"), with 1" or 2" core
Use on Set
The filter is typically attached to the light shaper (barndoors, frame) using a filter frame or clips. On set, it is used to warm up artificial or daylight sources, creating a sunny, straw-colored light impression – for example, to simulate a late afternoon sun, warm window light, or a golden look. Like all color filters, it reduces the amount of light; some energy is absorbed (for 764, transmission is around 80% depending on the source).
