Those filters are for film imaging. Any color corrections for digital images can be handled by post-processing in Photoshop, Gimp, or similar.
When making your housing, make sure that the part of the housing in front of the lens cannot reflect light from the flash into the lens. This would be a major problem if, for instance, you just put your camera inside a fairly large plastic bubble.
