So I was reading this: http://www.dpreview.com/articles/6497352654/get-more-accurate-color-with-camera-calibration-
and this line:
" it doesn't matter which color space - Adobe RGB or sRGB - I select in camera, but I always process the files in AdobeRGB since it gives a wider color gamut. You should use the same color space for both the calibration shot and subsequent images which will use the same profile."
made me realize right away I was in sRGB. I have changed it and we will see where it goes from here. I will also look into the color checker in the future if this doesn't help things but I really think it will. I believe all my cameras except this one are set to adobeRGB and have not had this issue with them.
The author of that article is confusing you a bit. He says he processes files in Adobe Lightroom using Adobe RGB, when, in fact, Adobe Lightroom uses the Profoto Gamut in the develop module which is wider than Adobe RGB Adobe RGB is used to display colors in some of the modules but not the develop module where the editing of raw images is done. It can be confusing.

How Lightroom manages color
Lightroom primarily uses the Adobe RGB color space to display colors. The Adobe RGB gamut includes most of the colors that digital cameras can capture as well as some printable colors (cyans and blues, in particular) that can’t be defined using the smaller, web-friendly sRGB color space.
Lightroom uses Adobe RGB:
•for previews in the Library, Map, Book, Slideshow, Print, and Web modules
•when printing in Draft mode
•in exported PDF slideshows and uploaded web galleries
•when you send a book to Blurb.com (If you export books as PDF or JPEG from the Book module, however, you can choose sRGB or a different color profile.)
•for photos uploaded to Facebook and other photo-sharing sites using the Publish Services panel
In the Develop module, by default Lightroom displays previews using the ProPhoto RGB color space. ProPhoto RGB contains all of the colors that digital cameras can capture, making it an excellent choice for editing images. In the Develop module, you can also use the Soft Proofing panel to preview how color looks under various color-managed printing conditions.
