I absolutely love the concept behind the RHS and other colo(u)r charts,
but I wish they'd get with the times and distribute RGB/CMYK component
values for computer users.

When I take a photo and need to adjust the colors on my computer,
knowing what the value should be on my screen is a huge plus.  For that
reason alone I still use Pantone colors, even though the palette isn't
targetted towards colors found in nature.

Then there's the issue of using it in search algorithms (find a plant
with blue flowers similar to Meconopsis betonicifolia) that can't be 
done without a CMYK/RGB value either.

Does anyone know of a Pantone <-> RHS conversion chart?  

On a whim I'm going to order and try this color system as well:
