Black and white filtration compared 2

Colored filters are used in Black & White to control contrast within an image. A colored filter will let colors similar to it pass through the filter, creating exposure. The same filter will block colors of the complimentary color, blocking exposure. The net result is lightening of similar colors and darkening of opposite colors.
