lllustrator and Photoshop display different colors despite synchronized CS5 Color Settings

I've got some students who noticed that Illustrator and Photoshop display completely different colors on screen for eactly the same RGB values despite Color Settings being synchronized.

 

 

Settings are:

 

CSF: North American Web/Internet  (RGB color space = sRGB),

Proof Set-up: Internet Standard sRGB

Proof Colors turned On.

RGB Values:  R=0  G= 162  B=211

 

 

But colors displayed are not close between Ai and Ps.

 

With Proof Colors turned off, both apps display the colors reasonably closely.

 

I teach Photoshop and Print Color Management, so I admit my knowledge of how Illustrator handles screen proofing and proof set-ups for screen destinations is not comprehensive.

 

I expect I'm missing some difference in the two apps' behaviour.

 

Any info from anyone experienced in this corner of the field appreciated.

 


Cheers

 

Tom
