You are reinventing the wheel on this; spectral color definitions for textile
industry components are the standard used for such matching. Datacolor has
been providing software and integrating sphere spectros (as well as spectral
color definition formats) to the textile industry for many years for such
purposes. The issue that would involve this (ColorSync-based) forum is how to display
a photographic representation of those textile components, not how to choose
cloth, or match zippers to it.
