I've been searching for hours for a site that had a color gobo of palm trees or something tropical to project on a scrim. I know that Rosco and others s can custom make anything, but I'd like to find something in stock. Any ideas or info is greatly appreciated.

I am not sure why you haven't gotten an answer in all this time, but here's my two cents. You didn't mention what sort of instrument this gobo will go in. If it is an ellipsoidal spotlight, you aren't likely to find a 'color' gobo. Color and pattern are two distinct functions in an ellipsoidal spotlight. They make glass gobos that have color, but that is a very expensive solution. Find a simple metal gobo for the sort of instrument you have to work with through Rosco, Great American, Lee, Apollo, etc., and then put a gel in the gel frame to accomplish the effect you desire.

If you aren't working with an ellipsoidal, then this is likely not the right place to find an answer to your question. Call your dealer.

Or you can look at hiring a Selecon Pacific [profile] lamp & producing you own 'Fergo';-
