i also tried seperating the layers, hiding everything else and merging visible, but the color still changed.
i've read a few post with others having similar problems.

When in doubt, delete history and freeze transformations.

This can be anything such as color overlay, satin, gradient overlay.
Maybe there are some of ajustment layers affecting the layers are to be merged.
Anyway try this:
1) Create a blank layer beneath each layer to be merged.
2) Merge each pair of layers (containig smth+empty) down.
3) Make sure that nothing changed. If changed play with opacity of each of two newly marged layers. At this step may happen u'll find out whats made you woory
4) If evrthn looks fine merge 'em down. It can't be the difference after merging.
If it still happens check, the color model of your document.
It has to be an RGB or LAB. It can't be CMYK or Indexed color so change it to proper value.
In case it everything won't help. U still can save the image like JPEG with high quality. Image has to be merged down correctly, so later u could import it to PS and continue working with it like with simple layer.
You really interested me with that case. Stay in touch. Want to hear the ending of story.

Then simply paste that data to a new layer. Done.
Works for layers with transparent areas, with/without layer styles as well as layers with multiple different transfer modes, etc.
Good luck
