Text color is faded after exporting - Essential Graphics

Hi!

I keep getting text colors that are more faded than what is visible in the timeline, after exporting H.264s or QTs, both straight exports and via Media Encoder.  All opacity is 100%. 

However, the bright yellow outline of the white box (generated by drop shadow) comes out fine, so it seems to be just an issue happening in Essential Graphics.  

Any idea on how I can get the bright yellow text I see in my timeline?

Thanks for any input..
