Colors get messed up when bringing illustrator file to AE

Hi! I am having a strange issue with some colors shifting when I import my AI file into AE. Some shapes randomly change color when I switch between comps. If I break AI layers into shapes or use Overlord everything is fine. But if keep them as AI layers they keep changing.
As you can see in the pic, the top part of the left leg is normal b.c. it's a shape, and the bottom part of the leg looks redder, b.c. it's an AI layer. Same goes for the right hand.
And it's not all the colors and shapes. It just picks random shapes and decides to mess them up. In particular, it doesn't like this orange and yellow. green looks fine. And I guess the workaround would be to convert everything into shapes, but I'd rather not, b.c. the legs are so complex and I am using puppet pins to control them.
There was a similar issue here and the answer was to check the RGB settings of both files and I did - they match. But it doesn't help. I restarted and updated both apps. Nothing helps. It looks like a bug, b.c. it just randomly changes colors on me. But maybe I am missing some kind of setting? Any thoughts? Thank you!
