Photographer's Formulary in the USA sells a variety of traditional B/W toner formulas:

Of course most people use these on paper these days. I would be hesitant to experiment on valuable footage, but I suppose some would work on film. There is a pretty good article on film tinting on Wiki:

As an alternative, have you considered projecting with filters?

>>Well, the Berg Blue toning kits work o.k., but it can be hard to get the red truly red and not pink. I've used several fabric dyes that produce good reaults-much cheaper, but I cannot say whether they effect archivability of the film material...good-luck...
