Demons disguised as clients indeed.
Before he begins, establish under which light the two should match because
it will be impossible to match print and paint under more than one
condition. Then get actual paint swatches to hold against the prints. With a
blank check in hand and an understanding that a) some colors may not be
within the gamut of the inks and media, b) that some colors may not
photograph as we see them under any light, and c) that mixed lighting in the
room may turn the paints new colors, begin the endless series of tests and
edits that will be required to please this neophyte. There's no doubt in my
mind that the need for accuracy bears an inverse relationship to the amount
of the check.
If the need is to make a good representation instead of an absolute match,
then the biggest problem is the ability of the photographer to overcome
lighting issues in the room. He may find that Fuji negative film is less
sensitive to mixed lighting conditions. The lights can be individually
exposed through compensation filters or filtered at the source for a single
exposure.

I suppose this isn't what you were hoping for as a response, and I
obviously
have some unresolved issues with demons disguised as clients…
An appropriate Texas saying for situations like this, "this toolbox has
wheels",
But, if the client will gladly pay whatever it costs -no problem.
First you'd want to characterize the color acuity of the client in the
room to be shot.
