How do you handle this phenomenon? If it's true that when color dries, it becomes darker than when you painted it wet. And if you are color-matching from a (dry) photograph and you match that dry color exactly with wet paint and apply it to your canvas, does that mean your painting will be darker than the original photograph from which you've copied when it dries? Would varnishing the painting remedy this situation? Do I even have my facts right?

Varnishing is a separate issue. Using gloss varnish rather than matte/satin/whatever varnish is important if you want your colors to look as they did when they were wet. Here is a video about it.
