Yeah, as said in another comment too: That's very likely VLC's post-processing. It doesn't look bad on your Kodi, VLC just enhances it as it plays while Kodi actually just shows you the real quality. 😅
I use Kodi too as part of a whole automation setup (so I can use it like a free Netflix that only adds anything I watch while I only need to add filters once per series) and I have gotten used to it now as it doesn't bother me anymore, but in the beginning I do remember noticing it more too, thus having to make that hard choice for the ease of automation over post-processing. 😅
Kodi is worth it on my Android box, though, as VLC's magic doesn't seem to be so effective on Android(TV)... 😜
Here's a little hack if you do have to use youtube:
Every ad: you swipe down, close video, restart,... After a couple of times doing that, the abuse-filter kicks in and it will just show you the video. If you keep doing that a while, ads just stop for a while as it thinks it's being abused. 😅
Probably will stop working one day too, but still works for me today.
If I could find a good Peertube instance, I'd take it upon myself to reupload everything I like there. I collect the 1080p(60h if available) clips locally for Kodi anyway...
