These dyes are obtainable from the National Aniline & Chemical Co., Inc., New York City.
The strength of the dyes may vary slightly from batch to batch, but this variation is usually so small as not to materially affect the nature of the tint obtained from any particular formula.
The Cine Blue dye appears much redder by artificial light than by daylight, especially before drying the film, as do all tints containing Cine Blue.
The following formulas are given merely for guidance and should be altered to suit individual requirements.
When matching any color view only by artificial light.
