Both images, from post #4, look identical on my monitor, in the Chrome browser, on a PC, which does understand ICC profiles. Note, not all versions of the Chrome browser do understand ICC profiles.
What I see on my profiled monitor, may or may not be close to what you see on your monitor. If your monitor was profiled, and set to the same white point, they may be rather close. Of course, monitor profiling is an entirely independent issue than that of ICC profiles for your images.
An image in one of the larger color spaces, such as Adobe RGB or ProPhoto RGB, will look flat in a browser that does not understand color spaces, hence the suggestion that web targeted images be converted to sRGB. Hopefully, as more devices and browsers understand ICC profiles, this will cease to be an issue. BTW, you want to "Convert to Profile" and NOT "Assign to Profile" in PS. Also, under rendering intent, you should pick between Perceptual and Relative Colorimetric. The former squeezes all colors in the larger color space, such that they fit into the new, smaller color space, while the latter clips the out of gamut colors to the closest in gamut color, without altering the colors that already lay within the bounds of the smaller space. Neither intent is "right", just choose the one that yields the most pleasing image.
