I tried to take a color from a screenshot, to use in a design, but somehow I get different colors BUT the same hexadecimal code? Can somebody explain this to me?

Hi and welcome to the forum. I'm going to wade in and guess the can of worms that is colour management.

You are taking a screenshot of the web from a browser (If I follow correctly), a few browsers have colour managed spaces, a lot don't, you are then taking that into a (I guess), badly colour managed Photoshop.

If you look at all the values none of them match but the RGB and HSB. The most important question should be, what colour do I want? Only look at that, if you know the values input those, if not read up on a large subject.
