I have a problem with colors in photoshop and browser. Why the same color (#cccc66) looks different? This in photoshop http://gyazo.com/a4f4181bf0638d652174f0a7d4f1fe9d.png and this in browser http://gyazo.com/37a9ad028951e85a288344f59c84ecc7.png. What could it be?
Some additional info. It's not image. I just used Eyedropper tool to get color then copied color name from color picker.

A mismatch in colors is usually due to one of two reasons. Either it's a corrupted or incompatible monitor profile or often it's incorrect color space settings. For example, a ProPhoto RGB photo mistakenly rendered as sRGB will display as desaturated and flat.
RGB or Red, Green and Blue, are additive colors and are what we see when we look at our computer monitors and televisions screens. The tiny dots that make up our displays are composed of RGB information. The RGB color space is very large and is ideal for images that would be used for web and presentation purposes.
So simple answer is illustrator' color profile is set to (for me) to "U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2" so when you open a new photoshop file make sure you used the same color profile.
Use CMYK mode when working with images you want to print. It's always best to start editing in RGB mode before converting to CMYK. When you convert to CMYK, colors may appear different on screen. They will often look dull and less vibrant.
It's called color profiles, the PNG has one embedded. You need to strip it out. Photoshop apparentely does weird things with "Save for Web" when color profiles are active.

Open up any image on your machine and File / Save For Web. Next to the Preset option, there's a sneaky little arrow...click it and uncheck "Convert to sRGB."
