Tnx for response, but its still the same. for example if i screenshot web palette and paste it to photoshop and "color picked" it you can see that is even not the same color that on real palette.

Is your screen correctly calibrated?

I tested it with this web colorchart and all colors did match:

Those two colors are actually pretty close and only 1 bit difference in R, G, and B

Not surprising there is not an exact match. If you are using color managed software when viewing, the sRGB colors of the pallette are converted to new color numbers in the profile space of your monitor. Typically, when you copy and paste from the monitor, it brings it over in your monitor color space.

Then depending on your color settings in PS, it is either inserted as is with the new color numbers or if PS is set to convert back to your preferred color space (I assume sRGB), then it will convert back to sRGB. So in the best case you are going through a round trip with two conversions including unspecified rendering intents with each conversion.

I am actually surprised the numbers are not further off.

As a side note, the posted image has no tagged color space either.

Hope these thoughts are helpful.
