Potentially a weird question: any way to change the color of shadows?

Hey! I'm trying to replicate this monster in roll20 (a monster that can make "invisible" walls and is "invisible" because they are both pure white in a demiplane which is pure white), but when I use Dynamic Lighting, the shadows of things out of my player's (in this case a test dummy) line of sight reveal where the walls are. The only solution I've thought of is making the entire map black and doing that instead, maybe requesting my players use a negative filter on their screen, but I'd hope to ask here first in case there was a more elegant solution. So, can I change shadows to be white (or no color at all)?

Making the entire map black can work, looking forward if someone has a better idea. Regads

Hi roommate! Try this: Set map to white (or whatever color you want) Set grid line transparency to low or off (your preference) Use an invisible token for the monster. Set DL of map to Daylight mode Make all DL barriers transparent. Set Dynamic Lighting to restrict movement. This will give you an all white room, with invisible barriers, and a monster that cannot be seen by the players. Let me know if you need any assistance with any of these steps.
Thanks for the idea keith! Issue there is I don't want my players to be able to see each other through the walls either. Ty though! I'll see if I can edit that idea into something workable.

Ah, I was hoping that wouldn't be the case. There   is one more option: Give each player an invisible token. Make sure that their auras and nameplates are set to be "edit", not "see". Each player will only be able to see their own aura. You will be able to see them all. There won't be any token art, but that might be a plus in this scenario. You can test how this looks by using a  Dummy Account . There are some other options with scripts, but that would require Pro. Or, i f the white room is not too large, you could have multiple copies on one page, Also, you could have your own page, keep everyone on a blank white map with no tokens at all and run it theater of the mind.
