This is a really good suggestion. What you could concentrate on then, would
be a scientific means of quality assuring the samples.
Quite apart from the difficulties of measuring metallic samples in a scientific
way (although there are multi-angle instruments that will attempt this),
accurately reproducing such a color so that it matches under an arbitrary
illuminant involves its spectral and geometric behavior (BRDF). No ordinary
printing process will manage this, and the whole project is rather bleeding
edge from a normal color reproduction point of view.
