But even if "yes", spectral match is IMO not sufficient, surface properties are important too. Your idea with custom colours in chart is interesting, but we have experimented with some custom charts, and we have big problems particulary with black patch, which give us very weak black in resulting profile - far worse than we expect according to measurement. So, i think, making our own - quality - chart is not as easy. All the best Kamil
