Yep. It's really to bad we have to use matt boards that ruin the looks of
really nice papers.

See http://www.paulroar k.com/BW- Info/R1800- No-OBA-Paper. pdf for some
non-OBA paper information. Lasal and Kayenta are both cold,
brightened papers. No non-OBA paper can match them. In judging the
relative warmth of the papers, look both at the paper white at the
left of the graphs (lower Lab B is cooler) and also the extent to
which the Lab B rises going to the midtones.
If you're using a mat board that matches Kayenta, all of these papers
are going to look warm in comparison. How cool or warm the mat board
is will significantly affect the apparent warmth or coolness of the
print. The eye will, in effect, do a white balance on that mat
board. So, a warmer mat board will make the print seem cooler.
