Weird bug - colours seem the same in illustrator. Different when imported into AE.

I exported a frame from figma to svg. 

Then converted to AI. 

I created a circle with desired hex value and text with the same value. 

Then I copied over a text from the svg. 

All those object shared the same colour value. 

When imported into AE the colour is visibly different. 

However when I eyedrop the colour from the circle it changes in AE even though the value in illustrator remains the same. 

 

The video shows what I mean 

 

Any ideas as to why this might be happening? The document is in RGB mode. AE is in 8 bits sRGB. No funny business (other frames export fine from figma).

Most likely the RGB Illustrator document had an Adobe RGB color profile, which is wider than sRGB.
