<<Such a chart already exists. It is the RHS colour chart and is available
through RHS in England. Quite good - used by the pro's and quite, quite
expensive. You hold the flower petal up to the back of the card - there's a
hole in the middle of the card and you can match the petal colour to the
card colour with a little experimentation. Worth the money if you do a lot
of breeding or colour work... otherwise pretty pricey for the average
gardener.>>
You could always use a PMS (Pantone Matching System) used to match colors for
printing inks and such. Trouble is... flowers (from the same plant) are not
always the same color... the weather can make changes in color as can soil
and amendments added to the soil.
Blessings of the Midsummer Season!
