I believe the original film maskers wore magenta goggles. This would help them to see the scene as the film would. The effect is similar to the darkroom. It removes the ability to see in color. Seeing a monochromatic view allows one to have an improved view of the set lighting. Perhaps a lost toll of the cinematographers art that could be used effectively today. I'm tired of films that are set so dark you can't see the action.
