Illustrator Colors Change When I Add an Image From Photoshop

Question

I have spent a ridiculous amount of time trying to figure out what is going on here. In my illustrator file, I have a color palette. When I pull in a photo from Photoshop, my colors change without warning. What is going on? I have checked the Color Settings and both are in sRGB. Why would this be happening and how on earth do I prevent it from happening again?

What happens when you first save the photo and then place it in Illustrator?

And also: the color profile of your AI document is not necessarily the same as your working profile. So which is it?

After looking into it more, it appears as though when I drop in the image, it's changing the assigned profile. So, when I click Edit > Assign Profile, the profile changes to ProPhoto RGB. This makes more sense now. I need to make sure that the assigned profile in Photoshop is the same.
