#How it was measured

Superia400 · 10/10 frames · ±5/7/7 ct · pooled rebate

That line is the provenance: which frames it was pooled from, and the spread between them. A base is not a constant of the emulsion — it is a measurement of a batch, with a tolerance.

Note

This stock also has a white-light pair measured: R 244.4 · G 385.1 · B 503.9. That is what the same base reads as under white light rather than three bands — useful only for comparison, since the channels overlap there.

#If yours reads differently

It may well. Emulsion batches vary — a green slope of [1, 1.8, 1] was confirmed independently on two different stocks — and your light is not necessarily the one these were read under. Post what you measured and on what rig, and it becomes a second data point rather than a disagreement.
