Achim,

I'm talking about the Mac OS X color picker dialog. Basically I'm doing
some UI prototyping and I have some places where the color changes
dynamically. When I use the eye-dropper (or type in an RGB value from
photoshop) in the color picker, the color is sampled in sRGB, but when it
gets rendered, the values are much darker.

The Image Pixel patch seems to do the right thing; see below: the left box
is drawn and rendered using the color picker; the right box is an
sRGB-tagged PNG image.

The values on the left are the output of the Color to RGB (front the color
picker); the right values are the output of the Image Pixel patch (and are
the "correct" values in the sRGB space.)
