you won't be able to print an accurate colour chart yourself unless you have an extremely good printer that can be calibrated.
you could print something that will give you a rough flavour of the colours but risky to base a decision on that!

The paint makers will usually send colour charts free on request.

You might try Dulux for there Heritage range, you can request one to be sent you, Farrow & Ball might be able to help as well.

Crown also do a nice range..but use the cards as a guide not your monitor, the resolution contrast etc will give you false reading.

The Little Greene Paint Company have the official "English Heritage" range.

This site is quite useful and shows a group of Edwardian colours from a number of different companies -
