Digital BW, The Print

The color most importantly, does matter. Different colors block UV
differently. And if one wants to make a negative to print silver gelatin
images, the paper or coated material in most cases, or many cases, will also
be sensitive to different colors  - MULTI GRADE printing is based on that
fact. So, use of certain colors could make impacts where one doesn't want
them.  Yellow is a flat color in multi grade printing, too much yellow in a
highlight and you might get gray with no definition.  one can make a
negative using ONLY red/orange.

The color does matter, but black is usually a good UV blocker. My secondary
colors are cyan and magenta, but I've seen people use cyan and yellow
instead. I'm pretty sure you could do good digital negatives with black,
gray, and yellow.
