I keep a grey card on me for getting perfect photo exposure but never tried one of those color cards. I know @Andrew has some experience with them though.

I probably should, but I think color cards are beyond my knowledge level at the moment. though when I'm doing coloured art... I'm always finding what's on screen is different to what's in front of me and colour correcting in post... maybe there's something in that.

When it comes to talking head and vlogs, I think colour is pretty loose, as long as you don't look terribly off it's usually fine, but art and photography etc is less forgiving, so maybe something for me to look into.

I do! I love them, they've helped me keep more accurate in not only color, but helped me grade even better. The hassle is remembering to use it every shot haha!
