What color space does the Adobe Color Wheel refer to?

When I find a color I like in the Adobe Color Wheel (https://color.adobe.com/create/color-wheel), I like to pull it over into PS as a solid fill layer for color grading. However, I notice a sometimes significant shift in the color. I know the internet is in sRGB and my image in PS is in ProPhoto. What color space does the adobe color wheel refer to? Or why do I see a sometimes significant shift in the color? Or maybe I'm just doing something wrong. I use the eyedropper on the adobe webpage, find a color I like from my image and then create a color scheme from that image. Then, I copy the new colors I like into solid fill layers for color grading.

Did you try saving the Color Theme to your Libraries, right clicking on one of the colors then clicking Apply color overlay?

Whoa. That's a cool tip. That'll definitely speed me up. Thanks! I'll attach a couple screenshots - one with PS in ProPhoto and one with PS in sRGB. I'm sure it's just a color space thing where the browser shows the hex number one way and photoshop shows it another way. Maybe I oughta look into another way to color grade or just live with it. Or maybe it really doesn't matter haha

Hi @Tanner26624355y2s1 , If you want to color manage the application your theme colors into some other space than sRGB, save the theme’s Color Mode as Lab. In that case when you apply a color to your document its appearance will be maintained:
