Problems with colors while playback a video

There is a TON of information explaining the nature of the problem.

Apple created a new and unique color space, starting with the P3 color space, which has been used for two different theatrical release versions both using a gamma of 2.6, slightly "darker" in shadows than the broadcast standards using 2.4.

And in their OS and apps are using apparently a scene-referred gamma around 1.96, rather than the display-referred 2.4 gamma of all other systems.

So your Mac if in native mode uses a wider and slightly skewed color mapping than Premiere and nearly all other professional standards.

As it's bigger color space, when it plops X coordinates on the screen they aren't the same color as an sRGB/Rec.709 screen would show.

And that gamma tends to lift shadows.

The QuickTime player and Safari and Chrome browsers all use that scene-referred gamma also. Firefox apparently stays with attempts to apply the scene-referred standard gamma.

And nothing seems to just look at the media, read the color space tags, and display according to those.

So it's complicated. And there is no easy "fix". I understand you can go into the OS and select an ICC profile more suited for sRGB/Rec.709 production.

Or, within Premiere you can use the preferences option to "Enable Display Color Management" and Premiere will read the ICC profile and attempt to remap the screen to give a proper view according to standards.

It won't look the same after export on your Mac, but will look proper on all other systems running standards. And the vast majority of systems out there.

So apparently I was hyped too early. In PPro colors are fine but after render colors are still desaturated :/
