		This is kinda fun . . .
Doesn't really apply to your question but I ran into this awhile ago and have yet to use it in an MOC: If you put a trans-dark blue visor on a minifig and place him under trans-red glass, the visor will become black. I believe it should work the (...) (20 years ago, 5-Dec-04, to lugnet.space)

(...) There is a way. You put the colors you want to experiment with next to each other. Get a transparent canopy, and put it on a few pieces of another color. Does it work for you? Maybe the pairing is plain and unimpressive. Get another color to (...) (20 years ago, 7-Dec-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)
