Color change from Premiere to PowerPoint

Okay, this is a weird one. About six months ago I noticed that on some (but not all) videos, the color was different in Premiere Elements (15) than what played in PowerPoint; specifically, facial tone became much paler.

Since then, when this has happened, I've adjusted "Hue", making it redder (pinker) and that essentially works. But it's tedious – I have to save/export the newly hued video, import it to PPT and play, then again and again till it's right.

Anyone have any idea what's going on?

Is your monitor calibrated?

Are both programs using the same color space?

Not quite sure what "color space" means but it seems like it may be on the way to an explanation. Only problem is that there was no problem before a few months ago and I haven't changed any equipment.

I'm wondering if it could be related to the videos themselves. These are clips I get from the net in various ways: YouTube, file-sharing sites, etc.

Same computer and monitor for both?

Also, I saw the "pale" videos on other monitors and they looked the same.

Thanks. I'm very familiar with formatting videos in PowerPoint and do it all the time. The problem is that when the videos are imported now, some are "pale" and others aren't and, again, this was never a problem before last fall: I imported hundreds of videos before them and all of them looked the same in Premiere as in PowerPoint. Now, some do and some don't.

When you finish a video in Premiere Elements it is typically a playable file, like an MP4. What happens if you play it outside of PowerPoint in the operating system's default player. Or, better, the free VLC player.

Does it "look" like is is supposed to? If yes, the difference may be coming from PowerPoint. If no, it is worth going over the Premiere Elements output settings, where the original clips are coming from and the characteristics of those clips.
