Default Color Profile

I am discovering bit by bit that all of this has to do with color profiles...I was finally able to assign the sRGB profile to a file yesterday and it printed beautifully. Evidently Lightroom was tagging the images with the ProPhoto profile and messing things up.

(When i said they had a "grey-ish" cast, I basically mean that the printed images were extremely dull -- to me they looked like they were under a cloud of grey.)

For those of you who use Lightroom and Photoshop together, how do you handle color profiles? I have LR set to allow external editing in PS with sRGB 8-bit and I opened and edited all of my images sRGB in PS yesterday and saved as JPG's.

However, today when I open them again in PS they look terrible as sRGB but pop with their previous color when when ProPhoto is assigned as a profile.

Thanks for all of the input...eagerly await more replies!
