This is what color profiles, and color management is for. You profile your monitor, with a colorimeter, you can then convert that color to a device neutral scale such as Lab, or standard scale rgb like sRGB.

A person with a appropriately profiled or calibrated (I suggest you calibrate your monitor to sRGB regularily*) monitor can then convert that color to closest possible color on her/his monitor using the color management engine of their OS/browser/imaging/authoring application. So image on my monitor is quite close to image on my work monitor, and any other calibrated / profiled system when possible. Because I am working in a calibrated environment that I test regularily

A person with a nonprofiled/calibrated monitor will just see random color. The best you can hope then is that they would be somewhere near sRGB. But that is more guessing than anything else.

* if you really want to be pedantic of color then you do this continiously as the light conditions at your desk affects how you precieve color.
