In the Preset area, next to the preset name, there is a dropdown menu. Uncheck "Convert to sRGB." That should do it.

For my document I get different colors to what I see in Illustrator when I export with option Anti-aliasing set to Art Optimized (Image Size tab in dialog right panel). When this option is set to Type Optimized colors are fine. As it is possible to specify in "Save for Web" action what anti-aliasing to use it may happen that you specified different values there and in the export dialog.

are you working in CMYK mode?

if so, that is the issue. when the computer is trying to display the CMYK colors in RGB things get out of whack. If you are working on something to be displayed by screens just start you file on RGB.
