Not as straight forward question as it might seem. What are you looking to do with this colour information? Spot / RGB and CMYK values will all yield different results as will emitted vs reflected light.

Cheers

I ask for a thread match to the exterior color for interior work.

Thanks!

i know no one that has crossed over the factory codes to them .
the time/cost to do so for no reason seams kind of pointless ?
the guys that used to do the interior work in my shop used to ask the paint shop to do a spray out for them to get the exterior color then they would just match the thread / fabric and so on to there suppliers .
when your looking at things like viper green you do know there are different viper greens .
this is another reason you should not go by a cars color name buy there color codes only .

FWIW I wouldn't use a Patone reference for any definitive colour matching. Over the years they've approved the use of a variety of different pigments which yield different colours for a given formula, which can be very frustrating. As mentioned above use a sprayed swatch as a reference.
