There is not really such a thing as RGB values; they are device dependant.   
You have to define RGB in terms of some meaningful color standard like Lab to 
have them be meaningful. So you can convert Lab readings from a spectro to   
Lab-linked RGB equivalents such as AdobeRGB, or sRGB, though even that has some 
assumptions and simplifications involved.
