OK, I haven't noticed this before, but working on wedding stuff I've been trying to match colors as closely as possible. So when designing my wedding website, I thought, easy, I found a website with the color that I'm using (malibu, here: http://www.davidsbridal.com/Product_DB-Exclusive-Monogram-Favor-Box-Kit-10-1824_Reception-and-Favors-Wedding-Favors-Exclusive-Coordinating-Colors), print screened it, and pasted into photoshop. While most of the colors look the same, the bright turquoise blue that I need is much duller and grey when pasted into photoshop. IF I take a print screen of each color (the website and the photoshop reproduction) you can still see the difference in the new printscreen, but both colors become duller, and I can't seem to get the pretty bright blue from the website.
What gives?
Any suggestions?

I've taken a screenshot of it and I don't see a difference.
You can also lift colors off of a website with the eyedropper tool. Select it, click anywhere on the document, while keeping the mousebutton pressed move the cursor to the color on the website and release.

Cool, thanks, I didn't know that.

It's the old case of colour management. There have been a thousand discussions on the matter all over the web and loads on these forums too if you do a search.
What are your settings for colour at the moment within Photoshop? Are any of the images tagged with a profile?

I also use the eyedropper tools in cases such as this. But thanks Frank for helping Mikaselm out.
