I use almost only Cokin filters, I have the dark green 004 as well as the
yellow 001,
does anyone  know if cokin makes an equivalent of the light green ,
yellow/green ???
I do not have a recent catalog.

for black and white landscapes.  The tonal range is maintained while it
lightens greens, slightly reduces haze, and is particularly suitable if
people are included in the photograph."  B+W brochure.

monochromatic rendering of multicolored subjects, such as flowers,
photographed in daylight.  This filter is also recommended in preference to
a yellow filter for making outdoor portraits against a sky.  The use of a
yellow filter in this instance may result in a chalky rendering of flesh
tones."  Kodak Filters and Polascreens For Black-and-White Films.
