Matching colors for video It appears that loading a graphics asset into Premiere’s new (2017.1) layered drawing tools does not do any kind of profile matching.  Furthermore, the play preview image looks different on my (color calibrated) monitor than it does on a real television.

Generally, the encoded video played on the TV looks more washed out, showing more shadow detail.  Specifically in this case, the desired green is significantly lighter and perhaps is more yellowish but that could just be the impression due to the brightness difference.

How do I convert a specified color into the RGB codes to use in Premiere’s titling tools?  I’m guessing at this point that I want to know the colors in the BT.709 color space, and that “hex color is #00853E” is sRGB.
It appears that BT.709 is a larger standard that includes the sRGB color space as part of what it means.  The Wikipedia article says “based on”, but looking carefully at the chart of numbers, they are identical.  So there is no need to convert from one to the other.

Of the various mixing recipes given (which do not agree with each other), the hex code is said to be for HTML/CSS, so that one I can assume is for the sRGB color space.

I used that value in Premiere in the new Graphics drawing tools, and it looks like the right kind of green.

The green background in the white-on-green EPS file they provide for the logo is not the right green when simply imported into Primere, as I noted.  So I loaded it into Illustrator, turned off the background, and saved as the white logo only.  This I imported into Premiere which I layered over the background color, drawn using Premere’s shape tool.
