When I get the RGB color from the color-picker in Photoshop and adjust the fill RGB color on an object in PowerPoint, they do not print the same. What's going on? They look the same on my monitor.

I have struggled with the same issue with no explanation or solution.
I have finally resorted to creating a "background" in Photoshop that is
the color I am seeking and inserting it as an image on the back most
layer of the Power Point slide.
Not elegant, but it works.

I have found the RGB in PhotoShop then bring it in to PPT and then PPT
changes the numbers.
I put in R-79 G-143 B-169 and it changes it to R-79 G-142 B-168. A very
different color. It happens whether it's a new presentation or existing. Any
ideas as to how to make my color work correctly?

Turn OFF color management features of photoshop.
Have a look around the menus for "options/preferences" for color management

Thank you all for your replies!
To clarifiy, I grab the original item and sample the desired color within
Photoshop to deteremine the RGB values. I, then, create either the object or
font in PowerPoint. Edit through 'More Color' the RGB color sampled in
Photoshop, then apply those RGB values in PowerPoint. I notice later that the
RGB values, first determined in Photoshop, then applied through 'More Color',
have arbitrarily changed. My question is, how does one encourage PowerPoint
to maintain the exact RGB color values that are required at time of printing?

Hi Martin
As a slight aside, I use pixie to determone rgb - you just point it at
anything and it gives rgb, html, cmyk & hsv values. And it's free

Arbitrarily changed as noted how?
This is the only reason for my posting! MS PowerPoint changes my applied RGB
values. Try it yourself! I put in R-79 G-143 B-169 and it changes it to R-79
G-142 B-168. A very different color. It happens whether it's a new
presentation or existing.
Lucy offered Pixie as a freeware work around. Although, I've already
purchased Adobe's Suite, is this freeware more compatible with MS PowerPoint?
The concept is the same - one may 'sample' the color of a picture, font, etc.
Please advise.

Martin,
As Steve says, we've never seen this before. I tried it and the RGB
values remained the same.
This isn't an Excel object by any chance, is it?
