"In theatre lighting, a bastard color refers to a color, typically in a color gel, wherein the predominant color is blended with small amounts of complementary colors ; for example, a "bastard orange" gel would produce predominantly orange light with undertones of blue. Bastard color is derived from "bastard amber". In 1920, Rosenstein, a gel maker, from a company was trying to make an amber gel, of which the color accidentally came out wrong Thereafter, they referred it as "bastard amber" . Bastard colors appear warmer, and more natural than pure colors and are used to replicate natural light.
