Pantone (fuck that monopoly BTW) is great at swatches for IRL (reflective) objects and paints, and a decent job at replicating their look on monitors. Your screen and eyes may work slightly different but unless there’s a defect, the resulting feel will be pretty much the same.
We’re talking well-calibrated monitors in standardized lighting conditions. Even then, matching transmissive and reflective color is really hard. Heck, even glossy, matte and textured materials can be difficult to match.

Replicating the look on “arbitrary monitors” seems very difficult…
