Premiere Pro internally displays everything as Full range – in other words RGB and YUV will 0-255. If you export to a YUV supporting codec, then other programs will read it properly as 16-235.
Premiere behaves this way because it’s easier on color management and other things, white is really white and black is really black. It does have a tendency to want to truncate super black and super white, just be aware of that; effects with the YUV symbols will respect this.
