Honestly I'm surprised that no one has either taken a raw image or a 10/16 bit scan and produced the Adobe RGB values...

you wouldn'get the correct RGB values with a scan or raw image
you need the Pantone code and once you got it any designing apps will be able to convert it in any other colour space
I'm pretty sure SP  have or can have pms codes

I just ordered both ABS and PBT rings. When they arrive I will scan them and upload the results to the GH wiki.

Then I'll send Prof. a PM about the blues.

No, you can't get the exact RGB values, but you can get very, very close.  With a good input it should be no problem to get the colour close enough that the difference between the true colour and the measured colour would be less than the variation in colour we get from everyone's differing cameras, with expensive enough equipment perhaps even beyond the level of differentiation for the human eye.  Getting the definitive values would be better obviously, anyone ever contacted SP regarding this?
