Imported image as plane does not have accurate colors

Question

I am trying to make a music video and import my logo (.png), however the logo does not have accurate colors (it has clear white background, but blender shows it as gray): link to screenshot #1

These are my material settings, I hope I have started correctly: link to screenshot #2

The circle I created behind it is also a bit grayish, so there must be something basic I'm missing. link to screenshot #3 with the circle behing the logo

Switching the mode does not solve the color problem, as mentioned in the comments the background of my logo is still gray afterwards.

Solved: I needed to add/move the light on top (to face the planes) and re-insert the image in order to reset to default settings. Result: link to imgur.com

Can you try using an Emission shader instead of a Principled shader? The Principled shader will accept shadow and reflect light, so white color will depend on environment lighting. Emission shader will generally help colors stand out and not darken/lighten with the environment lighting. — Craig D Jones, May 21 '20 at 20:25
Where do I "Set the View transfrorm from Filmic to sRGB (or "standard") in the color management section" ? I do not see this option - https://imgur.com/z4p3g85 — Кристиян Кацаров, May 21 '20 at 21:31
Changing from filmic to standard or any other option did not change the colors at all — Кристиян Кацаров, May 21 '20 at 21:37
As you can see here: https://imgur.com/nbg2qLv the image also has sRGB color space. Still gray - https://imgur.com/qmLyIve — Кристиян Кацаров, May 21 '20 at 21:47
What is wrong with the images? You don't want the embedded for sure, because they are too big — Кристиян Кацаров, May 21 '20 at 22:47

I believe you are on the right track...

Switch from Filmic to standard but not on the image or material like you did.

I actually didn't realize you could do it image by image like that but I think you need to switch it on the actual world scene.

Look under the "Scene" tab where you switch from EEVEE to Cycles... at the bottom look for "Color Management" and "View Transform" then switch that from Filmic to Standard.
