Colored filters for black and white film are of use with color film only when a major overall color cast is what you are seeking. A deep red filter, for example, will give an image on color film an overall red appearance, whereas with black and white film, its effects are usually dramatic. The normal aim of a photographer using black and white film is to accurately reproduce a colored subject in a range of grey tones. A red sweater should be reproduced in a different grey tone than a green sweater, for example. Differentiation of colors that would otherwise appear as the same tone of gray is the main purpose of colored filters with black and white film.
Filters are very useful in interpreting colors into their equivalent grey tones.
However, filters can do more for your black and white photography. You can intentionally darken a light sky and dramatically whiten its clouds. You can reduce the effects of atmospheric haze in aerial photography , create special effects, improve skin tones, remove glare from shiny leaves, draw the viewer's attention to a particular aspect of a subject, increase contrast , eliminate or reduce reflections, reduce the amount of light striking all or part of the film, and so on. Filters, especially colored filters, are incredibly useful in black and white photography, and it pays to learn how and under what conditions to use them to enhance your images. You are in the right place to do that.
