The measured color palettes can be exported from the Color Munki software as *.CxF files and read back in 3ds Max with the help of a script that I have developped.

The 3ds Max script can be downloaded here.  Simply run it from within 3ds Max using the Maxscript | Run command, browse to a CxF file and drag and drop colors in your materials from the color swatch of your choice.
