My received gray card is 28% reflectance. (The standard gray card should be 18%.)
Also, the gray and white cards have significant color shift from neutral gray. The gray card is 4 Delta-E towards cyan; the white card is 8 Delta-E towards violet.
(Technically speaking, anything above 2 Delta-E is noticeable by normal people. Designer's monitors should be calibrated to less than 1 Delta-E.)
Considering its price, I am very disappointed with its quality. If I use this product to calibrate my camera, my resulting pictures shift a lot towards orange!
The attached image shows a comparison of the cards against X-Rite ColorChecker Classic.

Honestly I don’t really use this. I feel like it’s easier to just switch your camera to auto white balance and then keep the rest of your settings in manual.
