G7 for spot colors?

$

I've been told that "G7 calibration can be used spot colour"

But G7 is a method to bring a 4/C process into grey balance so I don't see how it would apply to a single spot color. Perhaps they are referring to the shape of the dot gain profile running from 1%-99%?

Usually the*shape of the dot gain profile mimics the shape of the Black printer as that is simple to think about.

Other people choose to mimic the closest density of a process color. E.g. dark spot colors would mimic the Black ink curve, medium density colors would mimic Cyan or Magenta, and light spot colors would mimic the Yellow.

Any clarification would be helpful.

Thanks
