Inkscape doesn't have full support of color management yet, so if the image you created in Photoshop elements has a specific color profile embedded, it will look different in inkscape.
Unfortunately it's not possible to display the right colors inside inkscape, but as a workaround you should try to convert the image color space to sRGB in Photoshop (I don't know if PS Elements has this option, you can use GIMP to do that if you can't do it from Elements).
That should help.
