Thank for all the feedback. Before posting this, I did try all the different flavors of "convert to profile" in Photoshop, and decided to stick with the "relative colorimetric" as the others didn't appear to do anything differently. In desperation, I even tried converting to LAB, then sRGB from there. Still looked the same.
I'm working on a fully calibrated Dell U2410, so the monitor isn't the issue. You can see the color change before your eyes the instant you convert the profile, or by clicking and unclicking the preview box.
I had also tried fiddling with saturation levels as Bernie had suggested, but couldn't get a result that felt "real". Honestly it doesn't help being somewhat colorblind, although yellow is one of the few colors I seem to see clearly. I'm never confident when I start straying from what I think is calibrated or accurate. I do work with camera profiles created using a ColorChecker Passport and their software, so I should be starting out with pretty accurate color.
All in all, I guess I will live with it. As much as I despise Facebook, it's the only way friends and family will look at my images. If you load an image to Facebook with an Adobe RGB profile, they destroy it. The daffodils come out with some orangy looking ghastly appearance. If only for my website and printing, I'd do everything Adobe RGB.
Thanks again, and I won't take up more of folks' time.
