The filled Leno scrim material also makes a great bounce surface to have a standard scrim in front of to soften and blend multiple washes of colored light. Grey rather than pure white cyc fabric generally works better in most applications.

It does have a "grain" so orientation can affect how light reats to it, but mostly its not noticeable, it tends to have some hairs on it which also helps with how light falls on it
