Im pretty sure they cant. I think they need pantone or RAL.

In photoshop it is possible to find the pantone of an RGB. Double click the colour swatch and press colour libraries. This will give the pantones.

However photoshop requires round numbers in RGB so it cant have decimal places.

I put in the numbers you have suggest but rounded them down so 84, 79, 65. Photoshop says the nearest pantone is 'PANTONE 405 C'.
