What is a stage lighting color schedule?

The color schedule lists all of the color media required to implement the lighting design for a production including the size and type of the color, and usually the location of the light that will receive the color. It is part of the paperwork in the lighting design. The color schedule can be used by electricians to prepare all of the color with reference to a single set of paperwork. ==================================== A stage lighting schedule includes a set plan for the types of equipment, lights, color gels, and gobos used throughout the entire production. It further includes, (mostly likely based on scene) when to use which particular types of lighting (spots, strobe, moving, etc) and their respective color to help display mood and really bring the production to life. Color gels or color filters can be placed over lights to display any color or aid with color correction. Gobos create dramatic effects on walls and are sometimes referred to as lighting templates. All of these stage lighting fixtures play a key role in the lighting and color schedule. The colors used in stage lighting are set out at the start of a production and a very detailed list of when to use which piece of lighting equipment coupled with a color sheet is determined.
