Here is a list of color frame 'sizes' for many common stage lighting fixtures. This list is intended to assist lighting technicians and designers in calculating color media (gel) requirements for a particular production if an 'unknown' fixture type is encountered and the fixture is not at hand.
Many designers believe that 'A job worth doing is worth doing at the last minute'. As a result of this thinking, I have been stuck in many a hotel room at 4:00 a.m., preparing a color order for the next mornings' crew call at 8:00 a.m. I hope that this helps others in similar situations.
