Ken has interpreted my intentions correctly. Buying different materials is
not really an option for a couple of reasons:
1) As I mentioned, one of the papers is Fuji Crystal Archive and, even if
Fuji has a lighter paper, I don't own the LightJet.
2) I have several papers I'm using. Some prints are done on the LightJet
for clients who value "real" photographic paper. Some are done on Epson
paper for people to value more longevity. These papers have different white
points (including different L* values). So I want to match the different
paper colors (within reason) to the same mat color. Yes, I suppose I could
pick a different mat color, but I'd rather NOT change mat colors for the
same image on different papers. (Call it artistic choice) :-)
Taking everyone's comments into account, it seems that the only real-world
approach to accomplishing what I want is to use calculations to get to the
right ballpark and then print a grid of color swatches around that ballpark
so as to take into account the fact that paper texture and lightness will
affect the perceived color.
Thanks for everyone's input.
