This is because the calibration is off in Photoshop.

1. Make sure you calibrate your monitor. At the very least run through Adobe Gamma ( a couple times if you aren't familiar with it... and make sure your monitor has been on for a good 30 minutes straight before running it).

2. Make sure you are using a standard color profile such as sRGB or Adobe RGB 1998. Also ensure that it stays embedded in the document. FYI, your monitor profile is about the worst color profile you can use... it looks right but it will always be worse than a standard one... don't be tempted to use your monitor's profile as a working profile.

3. Make sure you're in RGB (looks like you are).

4. Make sure you aren't "proofing" your colors in something like CMYK.

If you really want to do this sort of thing a lot you might consider picking up a hardware color calibration tool. Also, the book Real World Color Management by Bruce Fraser is a goldmine of information about these things. Worth at least getting out of the library or borrowing from a friend. Personally, I bought a copy as soon as I could... reference it all the time.

Good luck. Welcome to PSG.
