Well the gif colors pop because the crappy gif format limits the number of colors to 256 which reduces blending between adjacent areas.
However I am beginning to think that we are not seeing the same image the same way, maybe your computer monitor has a high brightness setting.
Really it is now up to you. Dive in and experiment. For example again using Gmic, after using the curves to brighten up, try a stage using some of the other filters, this for example using color-grading.
Lots of settings in this one, start at the top slider and see what each does. screenshot with gif frame to compare. https://i.imgur.com/JkINqd2.jpg
