After a couple of encounters with fanatic PMS fans at ad agencies,
I've come to the conclusion that the best solution is just to eyeball
it on a good monitor and tell 'em its an exact, scientific match.
Even though you can get the precise RGB values into the rendered
frame by using 100% luminousity, well... NTSC isn't called Never
The Same Color for nothing. And with shading and highlights, forget it.
