    You need to learn color management, calibrate and then configure your system.

    THis is just scratching the surface of it:

    Set up color management

    In which colorspace aree you in?

    Which color profile do you use?

    Do you convert to profile?

    Attach profile when exporting?

    Which app do you use to check the exported image?

    "Emulate Illustrator 6" turns off color management. And you see the result of that.

    You will need to turn on color management and learn all about it.

    For the moment try and set it to "Your region/Web & Internet". Turn on all the warnings about profile mismatch. Assign an sRGB profile to your document, don't convert color values.

    If the result is, tht your colors are off, try the following: close the document without assigning a profile. But have your working profile set to sRGB. Then open the document. There will be a warning about profile mismatch. Select "Convert to profile".

    And then export the artwork using that profile as well.
