By default XBMC outputs full range RGB. There are settings available (contrast, brightness) to push this to 16-235 (which really only makes sense for a YUV range) for those graphics cards that don't output the appropriate range (or TVs that assume one range when the other is sent) etc.
There's information on the forums here as to appropriate values to get the equivalent of 16/235.
Cheers,

OK understood.
It is useful to have the 16-235 and I'll do some research on the forum.
Thank you.

Note that the more important step is likely what your graphics card is actually spitting out, and what your TV is interpreting that as.

Most decent cards will let you select the color space hence it's good knowing what XBMC uses.

Yes absolutely.
But on a Macintosh Apple does not provide any tools to change the colorspace. And that's a shame. Fortunately we have the product "black light ".
