Pantone color swatches are easily purchsed at Art supply houses. There has to  
be something like that close by. I have seen them (heck, I used to date one!)  
and they_are_pricey !!!! Start around pipity dolleros (think this will get  
edited ?) and can go into the hundreds for the big books.

You pay for what you get.

Also, remember that pantone can not make two swatch chips that are identical.  
Go grab two books of PMS colors, and you will see what I mean. I come from a  
Pre-press background..... I have seen this many many times. Trust nothing with  
color. Ever.
