I'm interested in filters that control contrast. A polarizer is useful, as are neutral density filters.

I understand that UV/Haze, polarizing, N-D filters, etc. are important and useful.

What three COLOR filters used for contrast control would you want?

Indoor/Outdoor? what size? screw on/snap on or gel kit? types of shots generally involved? location?

dark green to lighten foliage if yu shoot landscape
orange to darken water if you shoot around bodies of water

I second the green filters, but they come in gradations, too, although I can't remember what they are at the moment.

unrelated note: I have a boatload of old Wratten gels that I'll probably never use but they are way cool.
