Tiki Bar Mood Lighting Using Colored Filters - General Tiki

Naturally, I don't have any photos to share, but I've seen some Tiki bars that use blue, amber, and red colored filtered lights for ambiance and mood. If memory serves me correctly, the clam shell fountain at the Hanalei in San Diego used filtered lights. I'm wondering if anybody has tried this. Specifically, I am wondering if colored filters work for direct lighting (directly over a bar), or if it is better suited for non-directional lighting such as backlighting.
