Welcome Greg,

I have a Husun scope and a Cassens + Plath.  In both of those, all
the filters are the same color, so I'm not sure what the purpose is
for the Davis filters.  There have been some comments on the list
lately about the uses of those filters.  However, as a first guess,
one would put down the needed number of filters to darken the sun or
moon.
