Additional Information

This behavior is expected because ArcGIS Pro is a color-managed application. In ArcMap, the values do not change because there is no color management in the system at all. In ArcGIS Pro, the team tries to preserve color fidelity as much as possible by default. To enable color management to specify exactly how color transformations are handled instead of relying on the internal defaults. Specifically, take note of the Color Conversion Rule setting used to translate colors from one color profile to another.
