The whole point to a viewing filter is to make the scene monocromatic so you can get a sense of what it will look like in BW. The blue only lets blue light through, and the Wratten 90 has a sepia look to it, so if your mind is easily tricked, and lots of hollywood directors' are, you'll see no color, unless you are in the UK and then you'll see no colour.
