I'm wondering if any After Effects aficionado can help me out here

Question

I am doing a motion graphics piece for work to go up on our socials and be displayed at an event but I am noticing some big differences in my viewport on AE and the final rendered video primarily is the colour saturation, on AE it's a rich yellow/orange colour but in the Export it looks a little washed out is there a way to more closely match the result in AE? the resolution is also taking a little hit but I'm assuming that's just to do with the Encoding from AE to an MP4

AE Display MP4 Export

Some extra info: the piece is setup at 1920x1080 25fps and exported through Media Encoder using H.264 and match source - High Bitrate

The old gag: You chose the most unsuitable colors for MPEG output. Such intense colors will never carry over and their similarity and low contrast bites you a second time due to how the human eye perceives the yellow as "bleeding" into the orange and drowning it out. That and of course there could be color management issues on top that further exacerbate the situation. At least for the latter you could mitigate the problem by actually enabling CM and using your monitor's profile as the proof setup for the composition, but even then you will likely need to work on the design and tweak the colors like shifting the orange into a slightly brown-ish tone and desaturating the yellows. Similalrly, while you're already at it, you might want to take the time to overthink the whole design in terms of how such clean graphical elements and large uniformly colored areas will produce all sorts of block artifacts. You definitely need more variation in that department just as well, if your output is compressed.
