    You really need a Pantone book. It's the whole purpose of Pantone colors.
    You will never know if the color you select is "dirty" or too dark or too light unless you look directly at the book. A lot of the Pantone colors can be very cheesy, surprisingly different than what you expected, once someone prints it.
    I think those books are expensive, if you don't have one you may want to ask a friend to let you borrow one. Most print designers have it. With the book, just browse through them until you find the color close to what you see on your screen. The "rough conversion" through the techniques above will most likely suck, so then choose the next best option. Something bright and clean.
