With Lab a and b values close to zero you will have a paper that is 
neutral. With a negative b value it will be cooler.

If you keep the cursor on the paper name in SpectrumViz the Lab values 
of the paper white are shown. For example Somerset Museum Rag 300 gsm, 
100% cotton, Lab 97.0 0.4 0.3

340+ paper white spectral plots:
