So Don aka flehrad got a GMK sample ring and shot some photos to help color matching or adjusting your expectations.

The photos were taken by a Samsung S7 in Auto Mode under 3200K/5000K/6500K.

I bought a GMK Colour ring to check out what the range was like, and also put them through a simple photo box with some different background and colour settings – flehrad.
