You mean the DigitalColor Meter application, or the lens-like implement in the "Calculator" tab of ColorSync Utility?

Whichever the case may be, remember that, when you are sampling on-screen colors with DigitalColor Meter, you are actually sampling the RGB numbers of the image *after it's been converted* on-the-fly to your monitor's color profile. Those are no longer the numbers that the image was made of in AdobeRGB: they are the numbers that make up your image in your monitor profile.

In other words, you are comparing two different RGB scales, AdobeRGB on one hand and your monitor's profile on the other. By definition, the numbers will NOT match, though the appearance does.
