Different color spaces may use different RGB values to represent the same color, and they may use the same RGB values to represent different colors. The same color will have different RGB values in Adobe RGB and Rec. 709. The purpose of color management is to translate your intended color from one color space to another.
[Glen Jennings] "I turned off Display Color Management so I believe that I am looking at the actual color (interpretted by after effects.)"
If you turn off display color management, you will get a view of how the colors would look on your monitor without management. That will not tell you the "actual color" and that's almost certainly not what you want.
[Glen Jennings] "The Photoshop profile is same as in After Effects -Adobe RGB (1998) but when I match the color coordinates it looks different then in Photoshop."
What do you mean "match the color coordinates?" Again, if your working space is not Adobe RGB, you should expect different RGB values for the same colors -- but the image itself should look the same on-screen (with color management and display color management enabled).
