Pantone + Coated Library in Color Picker

For example, Panotne 354 has different RGB, HSB & # values on Macintosh A compared to Macintosh B for the same Pantone color in the same library.

Both have similar versions of Cloud Photoshop. (2017)

The Lab and CMYK numbers are identical, but the HSB & RGB & Hex values are not.

FYI- Photoshop color settings are identical (Adobe RGB Working space) too.

What the heck is going on?

Many thanks to everybody commenting on this. Wish we could have had a concrete reason why this happened. As I mentioned, I am working in HSB and hopefully my library will stay correct. It is not an sRGB issue or library selection error.

I doubt it...

"FYI- Photoshop color settings are identical (Adobe RGB Working space) too."

Something somewhere is different. I wonder if it would have anything to do with the OS ( operating system )? Would a monitor profile affect RGB reads?

I just setup a test using PMS 354 on a 1.) laptop OSX ( 61R, 172G, 76B ) and 2.) tower OSX ( 45R, 169G, 68B ) in PS with identical color settings. I would be interested in hearing an answer to the original question: What the heck is going on?
