Color Hue Shifts from Premiere (Windows - Rec709 2.4) to iPhone.

I edited a video in Premiere Pro 2026 using gamma 2.4. I did my color grade, my animations, my text, etc. When exporting, everything looks fine in VLC, but when I send it to my iPhone to upload it to Instagram, the colors change. I’m aware that Apple uses a different gamma (1.96), and I know the image can look a bit brighter than normal. What makes me uncomfortable is that the colors change in tone. The image in general becomes more yellow, and where the biggest shift happens is in the red tones. A red text color (FF0000) turns into a more orange tone (FF2B00).

 

I’ve been looking into it and I can’t find anyone with the same problem. Am I exporting incorrectly? Is it normal for colors to change on my iPhone? I’ve checked the same video on different devices: on Samsung it looks fine, but on different iPhones and iPads it looks wrong.

 

Test Image with different tones to look on the iPhone. Both looks different on Screen (mac mini - LG Monitor).
