Weird color change in layer… never have I had such a weird glitch

I'm hoping someone else has seen this. I was working in photoshop--I edit paper sculptures, so I had a layer for the sky that I made rather vibrant cyan. And in my workspace all looked well. I had many many layers. So I made a copy as a jpg and when I opened it up in photoshop, the cyan layer was almost fluorescent! And sure enough, even though in my workspace, the layer in my psd looked fine, I noticed the thumbnail in the layer window looked very bright. And when I closed the psd and reopened it, it was also fluorescent! Any ideas? Thank you.

So sorry--but can you explain what you mean or how to change status bar? I'm a beginner here. And sadly I was so freaked out, I hurried and threw the layer away and fixed it before taking a screenshot.

Regarding StatusBar:

RGB is a Color Mode, so that says little about the Color Space (as described by the ICC profile).

What are Photoshop’s Edit > Color Settings?

A jpeg is in RGB colour mode. When you saved the jpeg how did you do it (Save a Copy or Export)? Did you ensure that the jpeg was converted to an RGB profile such as sRGB and that the profile was embedded within the jpeg file?

Thank you for commenting. Yes. I did. I save tons of jpgs everyday and never had this happen. And my images are all in RGB mode. But even the layer in my psd was altered when I closed it and opened it up again.
