I understand that UV/Haze, polarizing, N-D filters, etc. are important and useful.
What three COLOR filters used for contrast control would you want?
I consider UV/Haze a color filter, but if you press me on it, yellow #8, I guess. I've never been a green filter kind of guy.

I second the green filters, but they come in gradations, too, although I can't remember what they are at the moment.
unrelated note: I have a boatload of old Wratten gels that I'll probably never use but they are way cool.
I think the green filter I used was a #58.

polarizer
I'm interested in filters that control contrast. A polarizer is useful, as are neutral density filters. um, er... Have you ever experimented with polarizer filters? They DO increase contrast with B&W as well, and you can dial it in as well.
