OK, MrTom, I followed your steps, but the # icon did not disappeared. So I saved the picture in PNG, then opened it, and then the # was not there. But still, I did the exact same steps and the orange I got was just a little bit stronger than the one I was getting, but still way too far from the f96000 I wanted.
What should I do?
Another weird thing. I opened the new PNG with Paint, and the new BG orange was softer in paint, almost identical to the orange I was getting without doing the Adobe 1998 profile color change.
So, I did what you said, as the # icon didn't disappear, I saved the picture to PNG, then opened with Photoshop and replaced the BG color, I could get a little bit stronger orange, I saved this photo, I opened with paint, and the orange was softer in Paint. The orange was different if I opened the new PNG with Photoshop or with Paint.

I feel my computer is possessed by a color demon, damn.
