Easy: Any Chloro-bromide paper will give neutral tones in the right developer. A print on a warm tone paper such as Gevaluxe can be neutral in tone that's the nature of a Chloro-bromide emulsion, and totally expected.

Show me anything, where a company is selling a Chloro-bromide paper that isn't warm-tone, I've not seen anything in 40 years of reading & research.
Lets clarify, a Chloro-bromide emulsion is predominantly Chloride.
Bromo-chloride predominantly bromide.
Ian
Bromo-chloride predominantly bromide. But once the chloride level reaches a significant level a bromo-Choride paper becomes warm-toned anyway.

The correct nomenclature uses the following order:
Ag/Cl/Br/I in order of solubility of the respective salts, in decreasing order. The correct usage also includes the halide percentages such as Ag/Cl/Br/I, 1:98:1. I think that is obvious as is Ag/Cl/Br, 50:50.

I think you are wrong about the placement of Gevaluxe in the chlorobromide category!
I do have one major request for anyone reading this: I am looking for trustworty documentation of which papers contained Cadmium...
I have samples of Bromesko that look neutral to me, and warm looking kodabromide etc., and I would much rather prefer to measure tone or hue more objectivly before I really could be confidant in anything here; perhaps I am a bit mono-chromaticaly color-blind? I don't know!
There were two conventions used for describing halide content of emulsions. The one you describe was out of vogue in the early 20th century, but there was no written convention AFAIK on this matter. It was merely adopted by workers in the field, and was by no means universal... In the 80s, computer programs followed this convention as well... So, automated printout and screen layout followed what I describe here by agreement of the emulsion making community at EK.

Michel;
If you paint, Cadmium Yellow is of course made from a Cadmium salt. So it is present in a lot of common items including paints. We never seem to get rid of it.

MMmm, not sure about Cadmium light Ray. If you refer to yellow darkroom lamps of the last century or earlier, they were generally Sodium, not Cadmium.
As for usage in generic terms in patents, you notice that the exact percentage is missing? They were being vague while being specific at the same time. I know that this may seem confusing, but it "allows for slop" in a patent.Thus Ag/Br/Cl and Ag/Cl/Br can cover any range whatsoever in the patent without giving an exact figure.
