When I record with OBS, the final video has the correct coloring. However, when I render the same clip in Sony Vegas, the final video is not the same color levels. It's usually much darker. I'd rather not have to change the levels with a Sony Vegas filter, because I never had to with Fraps. Any help appreciated.

Go to your Project Settings in Vegas & set Pixel Format to 8-bit.
It has been unfortunately.
If it helps at all, the obs files are .mp4 (mkv doesn't work in Sony Vegas) and I'm trying to render in Sony Vegas to the same.

It really sounds like it's something with Vegas not OBS, especially if the recordings look OK before you edit/re-render with Vegas. Usually it's the Pixel format setting since Vegas defaults to 32-bit.
How about on the render settings, are you using Sony AVC MPEG-4 and leaving the color space so it defaults to the project settings?

I have to. Sony Vegas doesn't read .mkv. The recorded clips look fine from OBS in .mp4.
That doesn't help my current issue.
I've been using MainConcept AVC/AAC (.mp4) for years, defaulted color space.
Just odd overall, because Fraps (.avi) worked fine with my settings. OBS clips (.mp4) on the other hand look dark.
I don't mind crashes considering the game I record. The files are readable. Same issue with .mkv files converted to .mp4 with OBS.
Is there any way to change Sony Vegas's settings to fix this if that's the case? My current recordings are ruined if I can't make the rendered clips the same color shades.

First thing is, you should identify the cause. Is what I mentioned really the case? Did you really record with full color range? And if you feed Sony Vegas with partial color range, are the colors really correct? You know if the former was the case, and the latter can be verified if you create new footage with partial color range in the first place and check that footage with Sony Vegas.
If you verified this, and this is all the case, you need to either make Sony Vegas interpret the old footage as full color range, or convert your footage from full to partial with some 3rd party tool. I cannot help with Sony Vegas, I don't know that app.
