I don't know of any and there is good reason. The colors you would see on the monitor wouldn't be even close the color in real life.
First off the chips are ink, so they are off to begin with. The colors represented in your monitor are a little off from what is on mine.

The paint companies are even starting to drop the old "paint chip" style books. They are trying to cut costs and have begun to use a "chip book" that is a poor color copy just like a magazine, without the "chips" that are glued on the page that we are accustomed to.

So, go daown to your paint store and look at the chips there.
BUT, if you are going to "pick out" a color, I highly recommend to buy a pint and spray it out.

Or, pick out a color at a car lot and then take the color code off the car.

Those little chips in the book are not the same as seeing it on a car.

You can look any where I've been with my 91 Chev. corsica. The paint is coming off in sheets.
