If your looking for colour accuracy it is a useful tool. Having part of the grey card on the edge of the frame helps serve as a colour reference. You have a know neutral reference for checking and correcting the colour balance in post editing.

For example the Auto white balance may add too much blue to a shot of grass and yellow flowers.
