Color mismatch

I am working with Lightroom Classic and Photoshop CS6. When I go to edit in Photoshop the images looked washed out. Lightroom, Photoshop and my EIZO monitor are all set to Adobe RGB. I have also re calibrated my monitor. Help please.

Photoshop CS6 is ancient. If you send an image from Lightroom to Photoshop, then the normal procedure is that Photoshop will render the raw image using ACR (under the hood; you will not get the ACR dialog). The version of ACR that comes with Photoshop CS6 is way too old to understand new things like the new profiles, however. That will lead to mismatches between Lightroom and Photoshop. You should get a warning dialog about that, which lets you choose 'Render in Lightroom', and that is what you must use. If you do not get that dialog, then you must reset all warning dialogs because you clicked "Don't show again" in the past. 

BTW, why are you using such an ancient version of Photoshop anyway? Your Lightroom Classic plan includes Photoshop.
