The yellow filter is spot on and the red filter seems to produce exposures that are OK overall. However, avoid using the red filter if you've got white people close up as the skin loses all definition and takes on a deathly pallor that's hard to print out. People with deep tans, darker Asians or black people look OK. This lightening effect also occurs with chestnut colour horses but they tend not to wander down your average city street too often so you may feel that there's no need to prepare for this contingency. I'll have to pass comment on other domestic animals.
