Color discrepancy
The color of my sequence in Premiere is representative of the color I want to export, yet when I open the rendered sequence in Quicktime the color appears washed out, can anyone tell me which is the correct color to be seen?

Quicktime is famous for not matching the original output. Sometimes it’s very dark, sometimes it’s washed out. Here’s one take on a fix for it:

Here’s another solution. You don’t say what flavor of QT, but I’ll bet you it’s H.264:

Honestly if you’re trying to figure out “what will people see when they view this on a computer monitor?” the answer is whatever their monitor is set up to show them. Thousands of monitor models being adjusted by millions of people, so it’s probable your image will never look as you intend on any two monitors.
With all of our work we output the Premiere Pro signal via an AJA or BMD product to our Flanders Scientific Reference monitors. That’s what we color grade to and what we find is that the output on the Flanders very closely mirrors what the final Quicktime File will look like.
