I know of no reliable method (aside from having a swatch book and using the mark-one eyeball). That being said, try this: http://rgb.to/hex/3e479a

Or if you search the web for "HEX to Pantone", you will see some other tools pop up.

Also, (I think) Pantone used to have a color lookup on their own site. But I can't find it anymore.

But once again - I doubt any of these tools are super-reliable. This is from someone who used to mix Pantone ink colors.

True that. If the job in question requires only one Pantone color, a good approach might be to approximate it in RGB as best you are able, then tell the print shop what Pantone color that is supposed to be and leave it to them.

On my website I have a file that has a Pantone-like palette for use with GIMP. I don't know how accurate the colours are to actual Pantone colours but you could take a look. The palette file can be seen at http://ve3syb.ca/software/gimp/extras.html

Cheers!
