# Color Filter

> **Note:** **What is it about?**
>
> This page documents the **Color Filter layer** in **Cinema 4D**'s Field system. It reduces Field colors to monochrome or two-tone distributions — simplifying multicolored Field stacks into clean color schemes.

From left to right: without color filter (effective shader and sphere field on a matrix object), a blue monochrome filter and a blue-yellow two-tone filter.

This modifier layer can be used to create a monochrome or two-tone color distribution.

# Example

In the following example, several fields first color the clone collection differently, then the Color Filter is activated one after the other with the two different modes (monochrome and two-tone).
