I got magenta vegetation and blue skies with my Cokin yellow filter.  What
color sky does Kodak tell you to expect?  Joe Paduano has done some testing
with other color filters, and this is what he suggested to me (use a
polarizer with all color filters):

No.16 orange or No.12 yellow: magenta vegetation and blue skies.
No.13 green: magenta vegetation and clouds but a blue sky. 
No.47 dark blue: magenta sky, clouds and vegetation. 
Magenta filter or No.25 red: orange vegetation and blue/green skies.

Joe, please correct me if I'm wrong, or if you want to elaborate.

Stanee
