Overview

The Tiffen 4x5.65" Coral 1 Solid Color Filter is a professional cinematography tool designed to introduce a controlled, subtle warmth across the entire image. Manufactured from high-quality optical glass, the filter maintains excellent sharpness and clarity while shifting the color temperature toward warmer tones. The Coral 1 designation places it at the lightest end of the Tiffen Coral range, making it ideal for situations where just a touch of warmth is needed — such as softening cool daylight, flattering skin tones, or adding a gentle golden cast to a scene without drawing attention to the effect.

Sized at 4x5.65 inches, this filter is built for professional matte box systems commonly used in film, television, and commercial production. The solid color design applies the warming effect uniformly across the frame, distinguishing it from graduated filters that transition from color to clear. For cinematographers who prefer to establish their color palette in-camera — reducing reliance on post-production correction and ensuring consistent results across takes — the Coral 1 is a practical and time-tested choice that integrates seamlessly into existing filter workflows alongside ND, polarizer, and diffusion filters.
