For some reason my video is coming out a lighter black than web #000 black.

I'm using After Effects & Web - H.264 profile.

Left: Web | Right: Video

The photo doesn't do it justice.. it's very noticable for what I'm trying to achieve. Is there any way to get this #000 color to match up in the video?

Update:

Testing on a laptop with Windows 8, the black in the video was true #000 . On my desktop running Windows 7, it's the lighter color (#101010).

Using different browsers made no difference.. odd problem..

What you are running into is one of the big differences between video and still photography/design. Video's heritage is television, which has very different technical requirements and standards.

In video there is no such thing as #000 . In the same way, there is no #fff , no #ff000 , no #00ff00, etc.. TV and video standards do not permit levels of 0 or 255 on any color channel; typically they run 16 to 235 or a similar range.
