I am trying to import illustrator shapes into after effects. But when I import I get different colors for some reason.

This is original in Illustrator:
[![enter image description here](https://i.sstatic.net/70HgN.png)](https://i.sstatic.net/70HgN.png)

And this is what I get in after effects:
[![enter image description here](https://i.sstatic.net/S7Dth.png)](https://i.sstatic.net/S7Dth.png)

How can i fix this?

You need to make sure you're working in the same [Colour Space](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_space) in both products.

Colour Space in Illustrator:

Colour Space in After Effects:

sRGB is likely to work well in both, but if you're making animation for television, you'll probably need Rec709 colour space in After Effects. This means you may need to convert your profile.
