You’re probably going to have to eyeball it, because there really are no direct correlations.

Hexadecimal-coded color is for monitor viewing. Pantone is for print.

The closest ones are going to be around 255…26xx.

Closest ones I could find were PMS 255, 259, 2623 and 2612.

You look at the colour on the screen and you compare it to what you have on the antone chart.

or use Photoshop’s color picker. (As Phosphor said, no absolute conversion)

I made a mistake on that purplish color, any way….

I entered #660066…or something other than #660000.

Still…you’ll just have to make a visual comparison between your hex color and your Pantone swatches, and find the closest one.
