   Although you can probably get away with it orange-deep red.   
      
   A combination of a hot mirror filter (against hot IR) and a low pass   
   wratten 29 or 25 filter will make blue skies pretty much black and still   
   leave clouds looking bright red. Contrast helps AI interpretation.   
      
   Monochrome cameras tend to be cheaper than full colour. Beware that not   
   all colour cameras react well to aggressive optical filters in front of   
   them - Bayer demosaicing can go crazy faced with such weird data.
