PSD to PNG Conversion does not match

When converting a PSD file with a transparent background using GraphicsMagick, my PNG image is more "dull/lighter" than the source image.

I've used the following

gm mogrify -level (with countless options)
gm mogrify -modulate (with countless options)
gm mogrify -gamma (with countless options)
gm mogrify -normalize
gm mogrify -colorspace srgb

What other options do I have in order to get the source PSD and the rendered PNG to match closely? The color is very important as they are related to product that consumers can purchase. If the color doesn't match, they may order it and not like what they receive.

All,

I was able to successfully get the image to covert to a 1:1 match. It required me downloading the ICC profile from Adobe.

It's available here:
http://www.adobe.com/digitalimag/adobergb.html

I issued the following GraphicsMagick command:
gm convert -profile /path/to/AdobeRGB1998.icc -compress Zip /path/for/file.psd /path/for/converted/file.tif

Thank you all.

@Jesse, are you using mogrify because you do not have Photoshop with you? If you have a PSD, the recommended method will be to use photoshop's inbuilt "save for web" or "save as PNG" option to create the PNG. Optionally, you could try using GIMP.
