(We should get some images posted, but I'm afraid it hasn't been done yet.)

Let me give you some relative numbers.  I judge "warmth" by measuring the
difference between the scanner red and blue readings or the densitometer's
cyan and yellow readings.  So, I end up with a single number that gives me
an idea of relative "warmth."  With that methodology in mind, here are rough
comparisons:

MIS = 13 units warm
FS = 8 units warm
FS-N = -2 units warm (that is, its 2 units cool).

These numbers are averages from EAM samples.  They should not be considered
the last word, as I am working from memory.
