Colour Change when exporting .gif from Flash CS6

So when I go to export my animation as a .gif, the colours look different from when I view them in Flash, compared to viewing it in photos. I am on the same device, so I'm not sure why this happens. I can send some screenshots comparing the two if need be.

Thanks in advance

GIF export is limited to a MAX of 256 colors so anything in Flash Pro or Animate will be reduced when exported to that format. The export options are pretty limited in old Flash Pro versions, unfortunately. Animate CC has a new, fuller GIF export that does resolve much of this.
