  I feel that the EAM makes the legion look a tad lavender, but that's just
  me, and I change my mind about stuff like this routinely.

  However, the phenomenon of how two whites (or any colors for that matter),
  appear next to each other is interesting, but it has practical relevance
  too. Those of you who like a paper this white/cool, how do you like to matte
  such a paper? Can you find matte board that matches it's whiteness, or would
  you go with a warmer white mat to further enhance the appearance of "bright
  highlights" in the print. There's obviously no right answer here, I'm just
  seeing how others might approach this. My preference is generally to use a
  matte color that matches the paper base color, for continuity. With this
  paper I worry if I can't find an archival board as bright, the paper will
  make my matte look yellow, and I don't think I want that.

  Opinions?

> Simply get a mat board specifier from a major mat board manufacturer.  Crescent has a nice one with small chips on it for all their archival mats.  Order the closest white using the specific model number.  There are many whites and some are so white they will match the LPM.

> Alternatively, just take your paper samples to a local professional framer and compare on site.
