Just came across this and haven't tried one but thought I'd post the link.

Or (substantially cheaper) go down to your local paint supplier and grab tint cards for free.

White Balance to suit your film, but don't forget to WB before everything when you start messing with the colour. I once had to edit a piece where the director had gone out to match some footage we already had - predominately red lighting - and came back with foorage that was blue because they didn't reset the WB from a previous shoot.

Orange cards are popular too for pushing the camera towards a matrixy look (blue/green). I'm using heavier stock paper from the local scrapbooking barn superstore "Crafts Direct". I picked up pure white, very light almost white versions of orange, pink, blue and green. I keep them in my script bag/binder in a school folder for easy access.
