Colour discrepency between video players

Check out that picture above. Notice the difference in colours (particularly the skin tones). I've also uploaded the same clip to Youtube and Vimeo. Youtube's colours are exactly like Premiere Pro's, while Vimeo is more like Windows Media Player's.

 

Does anyone know why this happens and what can be done to get absolute consistency (especially with regards to Vimeo).

then try watching it on VLC Media player and the colours are different again!! .....vlc is very vibrant

This probably won't get you consistency, but I would check your GPU driver video settings first and disable any dynamic contrast enhancement and ensure (for nvidia GPUs) video full range is enabled.

 

I would also recommend using MPC-HC http://mpc-hc.org/ for video playback as it has some colour management options that can be enabled https://trac.mpc-hc.org/wiki/New_Renderer_Settings.

I've always had this issue. VLC and Windows Media player are different. For me, WMP has more contrast and saturation. Watching youtube in different browsers (Chrome, IE, Firefox) also makes a difference. As far as I can tell it's just the way it is.
