Illustrator ignores profiles in png files and assumes that they have the same profile as your RGB working space or your document. Try saving your screendump in Photoshop as .psd (with your Display profile included) and see if the colors are still changing.

Thanks for that, but I'm not using Photoshop whatsoever in this workflow. The squares pictured were colored directly using the palette from the CC Library.

I thought you were mentioning placing screenshots back into Illustrator.

How is color management set up?

Which color profile is applied to the document?

Do you use the softproof?
