Really, that is a whole lot of help to me when I haven't a bog's notion what
the 'perfect diffuse reflector' is, or how it relates to me trying to
measure a spot color.

What does that mean?  My understanding is that in relative, white is the
paper white.  So the profile will shift colors from the working space white
(??) towards the paper white, whereas Abscol does not.  So if we are going
from D65 to a yellowish paper, Abscol will print everything with a blue
tint.

No problem ... but if you don't cut off previous posts then the latest post
has a record of all the follow-up to the original question.
