FFplay depends on an external library that is responsible for displaying the yuv420p data that libavcodec (etc.) provides, afaict it is meant more as a testing application than a video player.

Feel free to reopen this ticket if you can add information here on the ticket on how to reproduce.

Reproducing is a simple matter of playing a video.

ffplay Video.mp4

Please check the link I provided, there are multiple screen shots where the difference is quite noticeable between ffplay and the others.

Though minor, figured I'd reopen this. More screen shots for comparison: ​https://www.dropbox.com/s/tw7xofv5p4r4myh/colors.tar?dl=0

The image from the lossless RGB recording is noticeably paler than the source's colors. VLC exhibits the correct colors. You can verify this by using OS X's built-in "Digital Color Meter."

Updating this to say that this color problem is no longer present.
