I'm running Yosemite now, but this has been an issue long before I upgraded from Mavericks as well. The default color calibration in OSX is overly bright and a bit blown out on my monitor, so I have a custom calibration set up and in use on my Mac Mini. The profile I created looks great for general viewing, movies or anything else I want to do.
However...there seems to be an issue with Quicktime in either the app itself or when playing a movie from my iTunes library. If I play a movie in a window there are no issues, but the problem comes when I play a video in full screen mode. The color calibration looks just fine UNTIL the play controls automatically disappear from the screen. That's when it seems to go back to the default color profile that's blown out and muddy looking. Move the mouse so the controls come back up, color profile goes right back to the one I have set....until they go off the screen again, when the default profile is back.
Anyone else experiencing this and maybe found a workaround or way to fix it? I've found a couple mentions of it on the web in forums, but no answers or even replies were ever given.
