You should ask for a set of Pantone chips this Christmas.
Yes, the others are right to tell you that you're going about this the wrong way. I'm here with a suggestion on how to do it the right way.
What I suggest is getting a Pantone Swatch Book. They can quickly become essential to any designer's toolbox.
To use the book, you go through the swatches until you find one close to the color you're looking to replicate. Then compare all of the similar swatches in the book to your color until you find one that looks just right. Note the number on this swatch.
Now open the corresponding Swatch Book in your design program (Photoshop & Illustrator have them built in) and find your Pantone number. Boom. Done. The color in your design will now match your desired color. You may want to convert it to CMYK depending on your printing method but that's easy enough.
You can even use the color picker in the program to find the RGB or HEX values of that swatch...so you can use it in video or web projects as well.
Fair warning: the books can be a bit pricey for what amounts to a bunch of printed colors—but just know they are printed with the highest detail possible for the most accurate results and that kind of printing precision costs money.

However, you can likely find a used one on eBay for much less. Beware though. Books that were not cared for properly (left out in light or heat, cut up, etc.) may have faded/damaged swatches and not function properly. Pay attention to the description, photos, and seller's history and you'll be fine.
