I have recently designed an A5 leaflet in Photoshop and a Standard Business Card in Illustrator for print (Working CMYK).
I have saved both documents as PDFs and have tried using several of Adobe's Presets, after a bit of research. I used the [High Quality Print] preset.
I have inserted two links below to show both pieces, the color's are appearing different. The leaflet shows the colors as being faded with almost some sort of white tint, as for the business card colors, they appear very dark.
I don't quite understand why they are not appearing the same:

I have not done much design for print as of yet, so any advice would be much appreciated.

The transparency may be calculated differently in each program, and I see one is rasterized, while the other is not. You need to define an exact color value for each section (probably just 2 colors for this mark), have the symbol broken into its pieces, and then you can achieve full consistency between applications. If you aren't doing this, at least have a master file from which you are creating rasterized logos at different sizes, and link those into your document.
It seems like you may have one rgb document and one cmyk document. Convert them both to cmyk and the color will probably be closer
