About Broadcast Safe Colors
Since most computer monitors and television displays have different color
ranges, the same image on a computer display can appear very different on
an NTSC or PAL monitor.
Colors appear much brighter on a television display. This is because video
uses a different gamma curve for luminance than a computer monitor. Also,
most computer monitors use RGB color space, and television displays use YUV
color space.
Some pure colors, such as red and yellow, can cause bloomed (very saturated,
fuzzy) images. In some cases, colors can cause interference with broadcasting,
which is referred to as NTSC illegal colors.
Broadcast Safe Color Controls
The Broadcast Safe Colors tool automatically reduces the luminance or
saturation of portions of the image, or isolates unsafe or safe colors that you
can then adjust manually.
