When I type in a hexcode number its giving me the wrong color

In my color picker in after effects I type in C8102E as the hex code but it gives me pink instead of red.... How do I fix this? I changed precomp/project to 8bit instead of 16 bit. I changed color profile to Rec709 gamma. but that didnt fix the issue. I've fixed this once before but i cant remember what the fix was. does anyone know? I think the issue started happening after I upgraded to Mac Os Sequoia. It asked me if I wanted to either grant screen permission to AE for 1 month, or the other option just took me to system settings but showed that AE already had some permissions but I suspect that OS is hindering the screen recording of AE because when I use my eye droplet tool to sample a dark red it gives me a pink.

I believe i checked my AE preferences as described in the paragraph above. It would be helpful if you could tell me which preferences i'm checking for and what to set them to.

If you updated the OS, it probably reset the color management. check your system control panel and the AE preferences for this stuff.
