I spotted a wonderful suggestion in a magazine somewhere. Your computer screen can be made to display any color at all and makes a very nice background. Plus you already have one handy!

I actually went to a art supply store and picked up some colored transpaency sheets. I used them with my flash, they seem to work wonderful. However, I am not sure if they can handle the temps of a soft box light.
