Comparing port color to paint charts?



Noting the color of port always seemed a bit subjective to me. I have to admit that I am not well educated when it comes to color and I pale in comparision to Lamont's knowledge of an artist's palate. What are you thoughts about comparing the color of port to a paint chart? It seems that this is could be a way to document the change in color over time. Maybe its the scientist in me, but I'd like something more definitave than purplish-red (like my Graham's 1977 review).
