Is this Baader filter blue or light blue?

[bendiddley]

I got this filter with some stuff I bought the other day. Says its blue on the packaging but when I go on the Baader website this model (#2458303 - link below) is described as light blue. Does anyone know which it is, blue or light blue? Cheers.

Think it is light blue, the dark blue filter spectrum cuts off before green.

Cheers. If it's light blue, why would it say blue on the box?

That is more question for Baader marketing team, isn't it

On their website - they call it light blue and still picture of the product is indeed the same you have shown - and on box it only says blue 470 band pass

Dunno, on their web site page it says "Baader Colour Filter Light Blue 1¼" (470nm) " , but "blue" on the box. Looking at the spectrum, it goes well into the green, so I would say it was light blue (the filter looks light blue too). U guess it got lost in translation from German.

Probably graphic designer who designed the label was having a bad day lol
