I'm still fairly new to streaming but have gotten pretty good results using OBS so far (except that the 32-bit version, which I have to use with my LGP stream engine, freezes up if I try to edit any settings while previewing). However, I notice that some colors, in particular bright greens, appear very blown out in my stream. I was doing a stream of Super Mario RPG and the grass in that game is a very bright green, but it becomes like bright neon in the video, almost as if the contrast has been cranked up. Here's a link, good for another 6 days:

And here is an image of how it is supposed to look:

The passthrough signal to my monitor looks normal. I have the stream engine set to use the expanded color range (though that seems to make no difference), and in OBS I have left all the source settings basically at default, though I have also checked "full range" there. Color space is set to auto.
I suppose it's possible that it's an encoding issue, but it also looks blown out in the OBS preview. I know it isn't a huge difference between the two, and for most games it wouldn't even be an issue, but I'd like to do my best to get everything as close to source as possible.
