... and on your Monitor: if it's a standard gamut LCD, most (inexpensive) colorimeters will do it, but if it's a wide gamut model I'd recommend either a spectrometer or a colorimeter with calibration matrices attuned to the particular display. Bundles (monitor + colorimeter + software) can be worthwhile in this case, not only with regard to price but also as you can rely on that the parts fit together.
Furthermore it's important to control the ambient conditions (at least the illuminance) when it comes to color critical tasks. If your instrument doesn't support ambient measurements, a light meter or a camera and a gray card can act as a makeshift.
