Coffee?

CP60M...

Because it removed enough excess green from my old set of Aristo VCL tubes to give my enlarger a full range of contrast settings from 0 through 5 with the simple twist of a dial.

Wratten #11 (Hoya XO), and 80A (because I use hot lamps).

Probably yellow-green, don't mind the odd bit of orange though.

The polarizer is my favorite also.

85A on C-41 film in heavy overcast or in forests.

This looks great. I do the same too, since I shoot a lot in canyons. But I think mine is just an 85, with no A. I also use this filter with an 82B, which cools it by about 300K, and requires an added 1/3 stop over the 85 alone. Sometimes if there is a lot of sun streaming into the shot, the 85 alone makes it too warm for my taste.

Orange. or yellow/green.
