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.

Thanks!
Here's the color I want:

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

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

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.
