- Silver: Used to add a little more light to your images if the white side isn’t “popping” enough light in, but reflected light can look a little cold at times. Used best for reflecting indirect sunlight.
- Gold: Used to warm up the light you reflect. Used best for reflecting indirect sunlight.
- Silver/Gold (also referred to as “sunlight”): We use this reflector side the most often – it’s a great balance of the gold, which sometimes can be too warm, and the silver, which is sometimes too cold. The color it reflects best matches the natural sunlight outside. Used best for reflecting indirect sunlight.
