I then decided to open PS and look at one pictures on both screens and again it showed the flatness in the colors. I do know why but I pulled over the histogram over to the second screen and it did NOT change - it was the same color on both screens. The same was true with the color swatches.

I took screen shots of the histogram and color swatches from the main monitor and and then moved them to the second screen that is lighter in color. As you can see the colors of the histogram / swatches do not change yet the picture is. I would have assumed they would change also.

That is expected behavior. The histogram should not change, because the histogram is a representation of your image, not your screen. The image itself doesn't change when you drag it from one screen to another, just the way it looks will change because the monitors aren't identical.
