When I copy artwork from an Illustrator CS6 RGB file and paste it as a smart object into Photoshop CS6 the colors are changing slightly. Here's an example:
RGB 234, 76, 52 (original color in Illustrator artwork)
RGB 233, 75, 52 (color of smart object pasted into Photoshop)
Any idea why the color is changing? I need the color to be an exact match.
I have CS6 Creative Suite and the applications are synchronized using the same color settings (North America General Purpose 2). I've tried using both proccessed and spot colors in Illustrator but have the same issue with both.
Thanks to anyone who can help.
Thanks Mike. Your solution worked - kind of...

SIMPLE FIX:
As of 4/7/24 I'm using CS6 Mojave - Set Illustrator Color Settings --> Edit/Color Settings - to Emulate 6.0 and Save Doc. Then drag the doc to the Photoshop Icon to open it. Under Color Settings --> Edit/Color Settings choose 'Monitor Color'. Make sure both docs are RGB. This will at least work for sharing docs digitally with congruency.
That worked for me.

Don't ever set your RGB working color space to your monitor profile.
Instead please learn about color management.
