John, here are some paper base LAB measurements from recent F type
papers introduced on the market.

Hahnemuhle FineArt Baryta- 99.9, 1.2, -3.7
Hahnemuhle PhotoRag Pearl- 98.5, 0.1, 1.6
Harman Glossy FB AI- 99.9, 0.2., -3.0
Innova FibaPrint Ultra Smooth Gloss- 97.7, 1.2, -5.4
Innova FibaPrint F-Type White Semi-Matte- 97.7, 0.8, -3.6

Clearly the tendency with the new F paper is for a cool base, probably
from too may OBAs. Only the PhotoRag Pearl, a very different sort of
paper than theothers, is a bit to the warm side of white. It's pretty
nice stuff actually, but let's lose that pearl eh? Never liked any
pearl papers ever...
