No. You have already done that, right? That's how you knew how to set it up.

What color gel???

No colored anything. The smoke for mine was white, made it easy to apply a gradient. Alas, I don't have a flash unit so I was stuck with static lighting, in this case, a large halogen light and a big craftsman flashlight. The slower shutter speeds gave it a kind of aurora borealis effect.

I want the crisp clear shots like the OP's, but that'll have to wait until I get a flash unit.
