Colors Shift during Save for Web Legacy GIF Export

I'm having an issue when I try to export a .gif. The document profile is Adobe RGB 1998. Viewing the .gif preview, you can see that the colors are quite saturated. Note how I haven't selected sRGB. 

Exporting the .gif gives me a much duller result (I am posting a screenshot, the actual file is too large to post.) 

What could be causing this discrepancy between the preview and what is being exported? How can I get the more accurate colors? I don't think it's related to my dither or color table options?

Once exported, you view the image where?

If you reopened it in Photoshop, it looks right or still mismatch?
