I have always found that a little of the olive spotone helps in Agfa 
warmtone papers.  I often mix a little permanent watercolor pigment 
in my spotone for blue toned prints which can't be matched with 
spotone, but using the 6 spotone colors I have always been able to 
come up with a reasonable spotting color for any of the brown 
palate toners.  I  usually take a failed test print and mix a spotone 
color than test it on the edge of the print until I achieve a match, 
then I let the spotone dry and lift off tones with a damp brush to 
spot with
