Colors turning out faded in Illustrator

Hey there!

I'm new to illustrator, just opened it up a new project. When I pick a new color from an existing image and save it in my color swatches it seems fine and vibrant. But when I color my objects (created with the polygon tool), the color turned out faded, more pastel-ish that expected. I never changed any settings and don't know what happend... It seems like the transparency has changed, but when the opacity is100%... 

Has anyone else experienced this issue?

Your layer has transparency.

Click the Layer item at the top of the Appearance panel and check the transparency.
