The above image has a smart object (Left), Text Layer (Mid), and Shape Layer (Right) all with the same base color and all with 45% opacity, and a solid color behind them. Why does the text have a drastically different color than the smart object and shape which are exactly the same color? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hi
It is due to your colour setting for blending text. By default this is set to a different gamma to the colorspace gamma used for pixels.
Uncheck it and it will look the same

Awesome, thanks Dave really appreciate it
Rob
You're welcome

Edit to add : Whilst unchecking it solves your issue (i.e. the blends will match) - I would not uncheck it permanently for all images. The gamma was chosen to give the best anti-aliasing on text. You may see issues in other fonts/documents if you uncheck permanently. I guess it's all about knowing the best settings for your image.
