Unless your final destination is print, color matching by formula is
impossible, period. Clients who come from print backgrounds sometimes
need to be told this. The various "RGB equivalents" for print color
standards are only valid for specific combinations of software, drivers
and devices--RGB triples by themselves don't contain enough information
to define a color in the real world.
