No color chart nor gray scale in the world serves for reproducing art,
but I always make use of them.
The only benefit is to ensure that in a secuence (several or hundred
artifacts) the quality of the source of light is the accurate (if it
is) in terms of CRI, that the piece or art is evenly illuminated, and
that we make a initial aproach to color balance the light source.
I usually show this aproach (the shots with the charts) to archives or
museums staff with the previous advise and "loose" a raw file full of
charts of each piece of art without contact.
Other part of the tale is to develop the best file for multiple
purpose having in mind the color temperature at which art is usually
showed (agree 5000º K?) and give a good exit towards the destination
color space gamut (can include web site, web print, sheet feed, high
quality inkjet, digital print for browsers, and don´t know if memjet),
and here the color charts have nothing to do except if you are going
to reproduce a color chart.
And if you going to shot something with cobalt blue, your profile from
Camera Raw to Photoshop may not to be ProPhoto, and no matter if you
develop with other raw developer.
But if you appear with a spectrometer and take the enough spectral
measurements of the artifacts without contact, the staff at museum
maybe forget the card requisite. Or take shots with a spectral camera.
