Sometimes when I need a real-life color, I will open a photo with 
IrfanView and click on the color I want, to read the RGB values. I take 
those values and convert them in POV like so:

rgb <128,96,250>/256

If you want to mix colors this way, just use Gimp or another paint 
program and use the eyedropper tool to the get RGB values, and divide 
that color vector by 256.
