The Adobe RGB colors will look flat and washed out. If the original image is Adobe RGB and you convert it to a JPEG so that it can be viewed on screen, then the colors will change.

The point is that the jpeg version and the RAW version are dissimiliar (the jpeg version being the one with the correct rendition of the color). If both the jpeg and the RAW are incorrect in producing the colors, then of course we'd look at the monitor. If you're suggesting that the monitor responds differently to jpeg and RAW, ergo the cause for the color mismatch, then that's a totally different subject, one of which I've never heard of before.

Have you tried looking at the images on someone else's monitor? Also, what image editing software do you use? One thing you didn’t mention is whether your monitor is color-corrected?

I set mine to sRGB and not to Adobe RGB because I know that most of my stuff is going to be on the web or it is going to be printed with an Eight Bit color space, or it is going to be printed with CMYK from an Eight Bit pdf.
