Old Kodak Neutral Test Card - any use with small digicam?

I have downgraded to one of those super compact and rather basic digital
cameras.

I recently found my old Kodak Neutral Card. It is about 25 years old!

Will it have changed significantly in refelectivity (10% and 90%
nominally) in that time? What about colour?

Is such a test card of any use with a supercompact digital camera?

Apart from setting the white balance I can't think of how I might use
it. The 90% is too bright and the 10% too dark to approximate to a
scene.

Should be 18% and that should match the average scene as determined by
Kodak. Those things can get expensive, I'd save it or look for
someone who wants one.

Can be used the same way as it was in the film era.
