I'm not sure...

Here are my files if you want to test them:

So you may go to Edit > Assign Profile... and assign an sRGB profile.

That will give you the same colors that you see in your SVG file

To get more saturated colors you can correct it with Edit > Edit Colors > Saturate (or Recolor Artwork).

Check Edit > Color Settings... and have a look at your RGB working space.

If it is something else than sRGB you will get a color conversion.

Thank you for your response, but it is already in sRGB...

What kind of color is this?

a spot color?

How's your document set up? RGB or CMYK?
