The Ilford data sheets should have the information you need.
There are two standards for filtration increments. I think Kodak
is one, and Beseler is the other. Make a print with a grade 3
filter, then make a print with the colour head filters, and see
which standard is closest to what you are using.
For myself, I don't worry about whether the filtration matches
someones reference standard. If I want more contrast, I dial in
magenta until I get enough. If I want less, I dial in yellow
until I get what I want.
