what kind of inks and what colors do you have available?
do you have a scale?
even more importantly, do you have a pantone chart? It is not happening without it.

I've walked ppl through it over the phone before, I can try to help . . .

With the usual disclaimers of monitors calibration and all that, here is a pantone chart

Does One Stroke have a program like Union inks does? It tells what inks/quantity to mix to yield the color.
