Fill color inaccurate

Question

I'm trying to change the fill color of a text layer to a light blue. Using the RGB number from an Ai file, I go to change the text layer in AE...but it isn't even close. In fact AE says that that number is full black. Using the HEX number will get the blue color right, but it'll say that the RGB values are in the tens of thousands. Is this a bug? I just updated everything to the 2019 version. Here are some photos to help:

This is the color I'm trying to get to in Illustrator:

And this is what AE is doing with the same values....

Sounds like you have After Effects in 16-bit or 32-bit mode, where each color channel uses correspondingly higher numbers (e.g. up to 32768 instead of 255). Either multiply the numbers before typing them in, or use the HSB values instead (which don't change).

we can change the values from 32768 to 255 while still working in 32 bit settings...
Go to - File > Project Settings > Color... change depth to 32bit float and workspace to sRGB IEC.

correct me if this gives any issues with project workspace.
