Auto color correction suggestions?

Are there any plugins for PP CC that automate color correction when used in connection with a color balance card (like ColorChecker)? If so, are their results any better than just clicking on the white square with the white balance tool? Thanks (said the color balance newb who knows there's more to read on the subject).

Have you tried Lumetri?

As long as you're using a more recent version, there's a white balance eye dropper and also an "Auto" button.

Auto, as you probably know is hit or miss. It all depends on how well your footage matches the reference footage the the auto feature uses.

I normally use the Lumetri white balance eye dropper, but it assumes the white you click it on is a specific shade of white, which is almost certainly different than the actual white in your scene. It's sure better than guessing, but not as good as balancing to a known hue, which is what a card let's you do in principle. I can imagine an app that let's you tell it there's a ColorChecker card in the frame, it finds it, notes all the colors, and balances the frame to match. That's what I'm looking for.

That looks like what I was thinking of. Thanks. Know of any others?
