Absolutely, 100-per-cent!!! Anything else is "color memory," on the part of
the operator. This is the "Art Director" in me talkin': I only met one
person in 40-years who had a flawless color memory; there are others, I'm
sure, but he was the only guy I could verify was right every time.
In my particular case, adding the color card is a little like chasing the
horses after leaving the doors open, but for others it's an inexpensive and
useful precaution. Do it! :-)
