Rosco #333 Blush Pink: a light pink color filter from the Roscolux/Cinegel series that adds warm, rosy tones to skin tones and lit surfaces.
Overview
Rosco #333 Blush Pink is a color effect filter (gel) manufactured by Rosco. The number 333 denotes a specific hue within the Roscolux and Cinegel filter catalogs. Therefore, it is not a lighting fixture, a lamp, or a grip device, but a self-supporting, heat-resistant polyester/polycarbonate film that is stretched in front of a light source (spotlight, panel).
The color is a pale, delicate pink ("Blush Pink"). According to Rosco's description, it is a "pink tint that is excellent for most skin tones" and is well-suited for warm area lighting. It is a weaker (lighter) variation than the stronger #33 filter.

Usage on Set
#333 serves as a correction or mood filter to subtly shift light towards a warm pink. Typical applications:
- Skin Tone Correction: Faces and body parts appear healthier and warmer without the image being noticeably colored.
- Warm Area Lighting: Illuminating walls, backgrounds, or practical lights with a subtle rosy shimmer.
- Fine-Tuning Compared to #33: Where #33 appears too strong, #333 provides the same character in a subdued form.
The filter is attached in filter frames ("gel frames"), in barn door slots, or with a clothespin/magnet in front of the spotlight. As it is heat-resistant, it is suitable for use in front of warm light sources; however, with very powerful tungsten heads, sufficient distance and ventilation should still be ensured.
