I want to get a pair of Alien Bees, but seeing as they come in different colors, I'm wondering what color is best...I am worried that yellow mellow might produce a color cast on my subject. Any thoughts? :confused:
The casing color wont affect the color of the light (too small, and behind the output) but yellow might show up more in a reflection, so maybe black, if you shoot lots of shiny round things. I have yellow, and never had a problem. There is usually a diffuser in the way, regarless, and if anything winds up in an eyeball or something, its that.
