Wrong colors in Photoshop

Photoshop displays slightly wrong colors to me. For example I see this color in internal Photoshop picker in the project: 254;0;0. After PrtSc and paste it becomes 252;26;25 on the screenshot. 0;254;0 turns to 0;255;2. (0;0;254) to (48;10;254). (1;0;0), (0;1;0), (0;0;1) to (1;1;1). I have no issues in exported files, this problem is only on the display inside the Photoshop. Does anybody know what is wrong? Third-party color pickers like jcpicker shows the same issue in the Photoshop window.

For screenshots, first assign your monitor profile, then convert that to the original document profile. Then they will match (as long as the original color isn't out of monitor gamut).

A screenshot has already been remapped from the document profile into your monitor profile. That's what a color managed display path does.

It seams like everything is configured correctly. Adobe picker shows right (255;0;0) color, but on the screenshot (using Adobe picker) and in Just color picker I see wrong (252;26;25). Picker settings - point. Nvidia control panel - application manage.

No, this is certainly not configured correctly. Don't set working RGB to your monitor profile, and don't set color management policies to "off"!

Always use a standard document color space, and always! have your color management policies set to "Preserve Embedded Profiles". These are the safe settings.

Document profile and monitor profile are two different things, serving two different purposes. If they are the same, two things happen: one - your display color management is broken, two - you lose all reference for what the file is supposed to look like.

The monitor profile is set up at system level, and Photoshop will get it from the OS and use it to correct your file for the irregularities of your display. This happens automatically without any user intervention.

To get a screenshot to match the original document, assign your monitor profile, then convert to the original document profile.

How are you picking the pixel and how is the color picket set. Prtscn is also a system function not Photoshop function are you editing in the same color space as your system's desktop? Does Photoshop Copy Paste do the same or duplicate layer.
