Hi,
I can recommend to read the Fogra Softproof Handbook
https://www.fogra.org/index.php?menuid=626&reporeid=200&getlang=en
A lot of theory with a lot of practical advise.

The reason for this is that most instruments which are usually used are simply
inaccurate in measuring CCT.
Using an accurate instrument an adjustment of the monitor WP to the same CCT as
your viewing cabinet gives a visual match.
But these instruments are out of budget of a normal end user.

Using Photoshop I agree.
There are dedicated softproofing applications around where the absolute
approach works though.
