What strange internet is this?

I was into The Fan's work before it was cool.

According to Photoshop's eyedropper the Premiere Color bar dsplays the far-right gray at [103,102,104]
Exporting to h264 direct from Premiere to an MP4 and displaying in QuicktimePro, the gray is reported as [114,114,114]
Exporting from Premiere via Quicktime' h264 and viewed in QTpro, that gray is [113,113,113]

When those 2 exported files are imported back to premiere and placed on the timeline all the colors match perfectly. Blame the QT Player?

There are several different "solutions" that I've seen around for this.

I don't see an improvement to my test exports from the VC suggestion, a slight change but not a match to the original Premeire display. That may be an older soluition to a similar problem, when the QT player had a Gamma setting that was wrong.

This adobe forum thread digs a bit deeper, but still does not offer a comprehensive solution.

The trivial solution is don't use 264 if you care about your colors.

To make matters worse, I exported an uncompresed PNG, and viewed it as an image sequence in QTplayer. Much closer to the original, but still every color was one or two digits different from the Ppro program monitor.

I try to keep up with:
How I met your mother

Daily Show

*-My lady is into the procedurals, and the leading men.

Breath bated for new eps:
Sherlock
House of Cards
(fine I'll admit it) Breaking Bad (Netflix didn't have the final season yet, last I checked)
Ark(...?)

Slightly less bated:
Slogging through "Heros" in fits and starts, I mostly like the eye candy.
Quickdraw (Hulu orig, Self-Aware western, a bit silly and tonally odd)

No, but there probably should be.

Damn!
