If I'm looking for consistent color in narrative film across different shotcomps, does it make more sense to aim my camera at a WB card and set the WB in-camera (which will change the Kelvin temperature each time for each setup), or, would it be better for consistency across multiple shots/lighting setups, to set the WB to the color temp of the lights I'm using (5600K, daylight) for the in-camera WB, and then set the WB in post, by using the WB eyedropper, clicking on the same gray card recorded in frame, used w/ different lighting setups?
The standard for video and white balance is to set the camera using a custom white balance from the Vello White Balance Card Set (Large). That is if the camera allows a custom white balance.

question
Are these cards waterproof? I'd like to take them diving.
While they are coated for normal wear and tear, these are not made for underwater use. I would instead recommend Amphibico Aluminum White Balance & Color Chart - 7 x 11 (B&H # AMACWB0711) which is specifically made for diving. A low end solution would be a simple piece of duct tap on a fin.

If I'm filming the WB cards and then using WB selector/eyedropper in post (in premiere pro), should I use the Gray card or the White Card with the eyedropper tool? Feels weird using a gray card for WB. Looking for consistent colors across multiple takes
One can use the gray card in the Vello White Balance Card Set (Large) for white balance, however it is recommended that one use the white card for best results.
