But how does the chemical ink mixture and angle viewing translate into colors on a monitor?

By having a mapping to RGB values and a calibrated monitor.

This of course then only gives an approximation. However this isn't typically used for digital output, but the pantone ID is carried along so that when printing (or otherwise producing) the physical object the correct color and material is being used.

(And some 3D rendering/CAD tool might also deal with reflections etc. in digital space)

Oh, that makes sense. The intended final output is not on a monitor.

The answer is not very well.

You get best estimate, make your pics, get it printed and then actually see it.
