you will never get an exact match. i recommend sampling it in photoshop and then using a pantone guide to figure out which you think, visually, looks like the color you want.
monitors and printers aren't calibrated right ever.

mmh, i had also the problem that programms as illustrator, photoshop, dreamweaver, flash etc give all other outputs converting CMYK to RGB. and: dreamweaver give the RGB value in %(!). which one is the right one?
but i think it is discussed here many times in the past.

But the Pantone sets included within Photoshop give you an exact Pantone match for any RGB you have selected, irrespective of what your monitor shows, don't they?

exactly, or don't they?

is the output the same, or not?
