painting a room

This is pretty far removed from colorsync, but is about color management and probably some color geek will have an opinion on it...

...So the approximately white walls in the apartment are pretty drab, needing some good fresh color. So I snap some pictures, load into photoshop, create a good mask for the walls and start virtual painting. (I've found that desaturating the walls then, using a solid color layer with a linear burn blending mode and fiddling with the color and the blend & fill levels provides the most realistic looking results. The color burn mode works well, but seems best for simulating a gloss paint. Anybody with a better technique, let me know.)

Anyway, on to the color geek question...so I've got my room virtually painted with something that looks great. How do I go from photoshop colors to a paint recipe? In particular, the luminosity obviously varies across the virtually painted surface, so I have to account for that. And since I have NO experience with getting custom paint mixes, what sorts of numbers can paint shops work with, or is it all some proprietary system?
