Monitors vary. I just have to glance around this room to see how
different

Very true. And setting the gamma is definitely required. But you know, even
the RHS color chart, and the Pantone chips that I have been using have their
liabilities. Viewed under different lighting conditions they appear different.
Color management is a huge topic and there are no simple answers but at least
if I were to send you H=271 S=51 and B=61, no matter where you are, with a
properly set up monitor viewed under daylight, we would be able to view that
color with little or no noticable differences.
