Hello John,
Apologies for my late response, I had a long day of college! However, through your reply I inadvertantly fixed my issue!
Whilst taking the screenshot of my project settings to reply to you, I decided to check that all of the settings were correct (This is a fresh install so I assumed nothing would be out of place realistically), and found that one of my settings simply needed to be changed, which I have highlighted in the screenshot below.

As you can see, the ‘View transform’ option (which I have normalized since), had the incorrect setting, where it should have been set to ‘Off’ and was set differently.
Thank you for helping me resolve my problem, I will be sure to help other users where possible on this forum, and post any further issues I may find to you extremely helpful users. Hopefully this resolution will help another in due time.
Thanks!
Devon.
