I have a green BG in PSD and AE. Same hex code. I output a jpg to bring into AE and see this... The top green is from PSD and the bottom green in AE. Both have the same colour hex code applied. How do I make sure they match?

A display profile should never be saved in a document. They are only intended to correct the image for the display in use. If you're working for web the stills color space should be sRGB. This is also what client web colors are based on. In AE if you enable color management and set the working space to sRGB, generated color data should match that of sRGB .psd files.

It gets messy when video comes in the mix though because sRGB is not a video standard. It should rather be Rec.709 but it would mean you need to convert your colors for generated layers in AE.
