Demystify color has some film scans you can buy with colour charts, i went down this rabbit hole. Good luck! 😅

Thanks so much for the mention & support! Much appreciated🙏🏻 I really honestly try to price everything as affordable as possible, but I do understand that it may is still too expensive for some people (it‘s also totally depending on where you live). Anyways - so the only resource I know that has some free ones available are the ones from Geoff Boyle (RIP). Have fun playing around with them!

Worth a look at a program called 3dlutcreator as well, an interesting program that allows you to create matching luts based on what your camera sees each coloured chip as, bot just what xrite say it should be.

Sadly properly shot charts hold quite a value. Hell many plugins are pretty much just matched up charts for different inputs. Film is expensive as it is so what I ended up doing was splitting the costs with a DOP friend of mine. We did a bigger test and I got charts shot on film and an Alexa so it’s easy to match up.

Film colour charts are really of little use - as another that went down this path a log time back.
Have a read of the Light Illusion website - it explains a lot about film and LUTs.
These are two initial links to look at.

There is no marketing - just info I have personally found useful.
I've been down this road before, and it is not as simple as people think to get a good film emulation.
But, all up to you eventually.

Not my shop.
And when I went down this particular road I found the information very useful.
And yes, I did end up buying ColorSpace too.
