I have been trying to export this project, but any codec I choose to export is losses most of the colors that show on the timeline

I have attached to photos, the first one is how it shows on the timeline and the second one is the exported version that's missing most of the color

What do I need to do to get it exported as it shows on the timeline?

I have tried several Codecs, Such as apple pro res, Animation but still come up missing the biggest parts of the image.

Image from timeline:

Image of export:

The problem here might well be one of variables.  Ideally you want to eliminate anything that could be affecting the video signal, so that you're certain you're seeing that signal as it is, and not altered in some way.

Towards that end, you really do NEED to get the video off of the computer and onto a calibrated television from a hardware player.  This is because firstly, the majority of computer monitors just don't calibrate accurately.  So right there you've muffed the viewing experience and you're not seeing what's actually there.

Secondly, the software, the video drivers and even the operating system all can and often do alter the video signal, so again you've muffed the viewing experience and you aren't seeing the video accurately.

Put another way, you can't rely on the Program Monitor to show you the video signal accurately.  If you watch the exported video on  a calibrated TV and it looks as in the second image, then that is likely what the video actually looks like.

Hi Ann, I have tried that but it is still missing most of the visual elements. I have also tried viewing it right on Vimeo.

Just guessing here:

Are you using luts and ame?

Try export instead of queue or v.v.
