Looking around, there seem to be people selling the XPGs rated by ANSI style color bins (1A, 1C, etc), and other people using the old style (WC, WD, etc)

As well as the new style binning, are XPGs also actually binned with the old style color bins, or is the second group of retailers doing some kind of accurate (or otherwise) conversion to the old format?

Having overlaid the old and new charts from the XP datasheet in Photoshop, , I can see that someone with a load of 1As might reasonably fairly describe them as WC, since WC seems to equate to 1A plus the bluer third of 1D, but I'd wonder why anyone would.

Would anyone who's bought any 'WC' XPGs have any views on their color?
