  That's an easy one. With the numbers you gave, having averaged
you last entry to 75, I am getting an rgb value of rgb 205-120-75
or in pov lingo =
pigment{ color (colour) rgb< 0.8039, 0.4705, 0.0.2941 >}

   I cheated to come up with this for you and you can cheat to if you
have access to PSP, possibly the windows custom color picker
window, or just about any of the half way decent paint programs out
there today. I haven't checked but windows paint probably has it too.
  In PSP you can go into the color control panel and input the values
you gave. There are windows for hue, saturation, and luminance.
When your through inputting - numbers will appear on the right
corresponding to a scale from 0 - 255. It is then an easy operation
to convert that to Pov syntax- n/255 = pov rgb.
