[Elecraft] K3 screen color question for QSL card printshop

If it's a local print shop, they should have a set of Pantone color samples
you can borrow and find the one that pleases you. Note that Pantone colors
go in steps. They are not a continuous color gamut that covers all possible
hues you can see. However, you should be able to find one that is close
enough to please you. 

If you are ordering over the internet and don't have access to some sample
Pantone colors, probably the best way is to give them the Elecraft web site
URL and ask them to match the color on the screen in the home page there.
Note that there are two K3 photos on  that page, and each shows a slightly
different color display. The smaller ones are more yellow in my monitor. 

Note that most computer monitors are not calibrated, so there's some danger
that what you see and what they see is not the same!

Is there a "number" - or "Pantone" color or whatever it is called of the K3
screen color?  I need something to give to a QSL card printshop so they can
get the color right... as what he sees in his pc monitor is a yellowish
green color screen... and that certainly isn't correct.

Thanks
