Wrong colors in Photoshop

Photoshop displays slightly wrong colors to me. For example I see this color in internal Photoshop picker in the project: 254;0;0. After PrtSc and paste it becomes 252;26;25 on the screenshot. 0;254;0 turns to 0;255;2. (0;0;254) to (48;10;254). (1;0;0), (0;1;0), (0;0;1) to (1;1;1). I have no issues in exported files, this problem is only on the display inside the Photoshop. Does anybody know what is wrong? Third-party color pickers like jcpicker shows the same issue in the Photoshop window.

For screenshots, first assign your monitor profile, then convert that to the original document profile. Then they will match (as long as the original color isn't out of monitor gamut).

A screenshot has already been remapped from the document profile into your monitor profile. That's what a color managed display path does.

It seams like everything is configured correctly. Adobe picker shows right (255;0;0) color, but on the screenshot (using Adobe picker) and in Just color picker I see wrong (252;26;25). Picker settings - point. Nvidia control panel - application manage.

I changed default monitor profile from Samsung to sRGB IEC61966-2.1 in Windows. It seams like its working. I can't preserve embedded profiles because my destination is web and every time I have to convert embedded profiles to sRGB. I changed the Photoshop settings, Am I doing right?

Those setting look better. I do lot of screen captures for this forum to show things It does not bother me much the the colors do not match the image I editing. I do not use screen captures in Images I'm processing for use. Seldom do I even use copy and paste. However Copy and past seem to match because it Photoshop doing the copy to and from the clipboard and can match profiles if you pasting into a document you are editing in a different color space. I normally place in other images or drag or duplicate layers between documents. Photoshop can match color spaces. With the miss matches check the want you have then you shoe be prompted whet there are miss matches. I do not use ask when pasting so I do not know it Pasting from the Clipboard will prompted with color mismatch. I paste screen capture for demo into sRGB Document I open or use Photoshop default new document clipboard when there is something in the clipboard. Sometime I may use assign profile to change the color some.

How are you picking the pixel and how is the color picket set. Prtscn is also a system function not Photoshop function are you editing in the same color space as your system's desktop? Does Photoshop Copy Paste do the same or duplicate layer.
