What filters do you have?

If you don't mind me asking, What color filters you have?
Sure I have red,blue, yellow, green, and a purple one. The purple is supposed to act like a red&blue stacked, but in reality was never the same. I think that is because it was much lighter than the two combined, so that throws off how the film saw the light.

I tried that once, and it really did not do much as far as affecting the B&W image. The red did darken the sky somewhat, but not like I used to see with film. What I have been meaning to try is putting on the filter, then White Balancing the camera, and then shooting in color, and seeing if that way it affects a conversion. Also shooting in sunny, or whatever the light is and not balancing to see how that effects it as well.
What I am more wondering is if you use a red filter white balanced, and shooting a purple subject whether this would help my Nikon see purple as purple, without having to under expose.
Also I am wondering it a WBed yellow will still hold its increase in fine detail, once you do compensate for it. Should in theory give you a stop or two on a cloudy, or flat light day. I have just been too lazy to try and find them, or actually which box I have them stored in.
