Why is the color of my image different w hen displayed on computer and mobile device ?
Different screen technologies.
Also, have you had your desktop screen calibrated to show true colors? It may not be properly set up.

Regardless, you just can’t expect all display to be the same. Even mobile devices will differ…

Images also support color profiles and color spaces. It’s a complex topic that creates epic confusion in the digital image world. For instance, there are two popular color spaces: Adobe RGB and sRGB. Adobe RGB understands a wider range (or Gamut) of colors than sRGB does. Many people use Adboe RGB because they want as much information as possible. But for devices that only understand sRGB, those Adobe colors can come out muddy looking.
sRGB stands for “Standard” which is a range of colors everyone as agreed too even though it supports fewer overall colors. But sRGB images stand the best chance of being the same across devices, until you get to what Ed pointed out, different screens rendered colors differently and very few people calibrate their monitors and most devices don’t provide you with calibration options either.
