Illustrator eyedropper picking inaccurate, lighter color

[Kdesign29]

Whenever I use the the eyedropper tool, it won't pick the exact color I selected, but a shade lighter.  I've tried this on a veriety of files and it's always the same.  I played around with all the color profiles to see if anything worked, but it hasn't.  This used to not be a problem, I could get exact matches of the color I selected (years ago), but not any more.  

Please help!

Do I understand correct that source is bitmap(rgb) and target is a vector? Thx

[Kdesign29]

Yes

Is the file embedded? And RGB > RGB or CMYK to CMYK?

When I copied and pasted a screen shot of this screen, it actually miraculously worked just now.  But hadn't a few seconds earlier.  Then in tried to import a file that I had that had a different profile and got this warning...  but both options didn't work perfectly.  The preserve color numbers worked better.  Is there anything else I can do to get it to be perfect?

Where do I find my Monitor color profile Settings?

On Mac System Preferences > Displays

Does this look right?

Hello @Kdesign29,

Sorry for the delayed response. I hope the suggestions shared by Ton and Ares helped resolve the problem. If not, kindly try recalibrating your display monitor(s) for sRGB (Windows / macOS), rebooting your computer, and then relaunching Illustrator to check if it helps.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Thanks,

Anubhav
