I'd like to pick a color from a photo I'm editing in PS and use some web-based tools to do things like find complementary colors. If I use the dropper in PS, it gives me an RGB code, but when I enter that code into the web page, the color looks quite different from in PS. From experimenting, I believe this is because the dropper is giving me RGB in the ProPhoto color space, whereas the web uses sRGB color space.
Assuming my diagnosis is correct, what's the best way to get the color code relative to sRGB space from a PS photo in ProPhoto space?

Details:
- looking at web page Color Wheel - Color Calculator | Sessions College
- in PS ProPhoto, red lipstick shows with the dropper as (160,93,78) #a05d4e. However, entering that code on the web page shows a brownish color (with hint of red).
- pasting the picture into a new document in sRGB color space, dropper says the red lipstick is (225,94,97) #e15e61
