Sorry, the numbers don't tell you what the color will look like unless you're working in Lab (and even then....). Numbers are a partial ingredient for specifying color appearance, the scale of the numbers, it's color space is necessary and for that we use ICC profiles (including one of your display)!
Shadow values are different for differing color spaces, sometimes neutral, sometimes not.
R2/G6/B4 is a different color in sRGB, ProPhoto RGB, Epson Luster RGB, you get the idea. So I don't know what you're specifically measuring or for what, but unless it's your display and no other output devices, you don't have to even deal with the numbers, just move the controls until it looks 'good'. If you expect anyone to see the edits outside your display, you need to output the numbers and they will vary depending on the output device.
