colors dull in illustrator 2020

[#1]

All of my colors in Illustrator are super dull for some reason. One of my favorite colors is this bright royal blue (0303F6), but when I try to use it in Illustrator, it comes out muted and just plain sad. It does this with every other color I use, too. I'll attach some pictures below.

I'm fairly new to Illustrator, so I have little to no clue what I'm doing. Advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Here's the color I want:

And here's Illustrator's take on it:

eturk,

First guess: you are in CMYK Color Mode; you can create/switch a/the document in(to) RGB Color Mode and start over.

Hi,
Please share your color settings from Edit -> Color Settings... Please refer the below screenshot for the same.

Also, you can refer below post

Or start with an RGB document.

Don't use a Print preset but an Art & Illustration preset to create a new document.

Thanks so much! Super easy fix and I can't believe how quickly people responded.

I am having the exact same issue though none of the suggestions in this thread have fixed the problem. No matter whether or not I select a Web Template or a custom RGB layout my colors are still coming out muddled. And before you ask, my color settings are identical to those that @Charu Rajput posted.

Please create a new thread. Yours is a different issue.

For my part you are welcome, eturk.
