At least not on my TV - you can youse xrandr to check what's available for yours. On mine it reports:

Code:
Broadcast RGB: Full
    supported: Automatic, Full, Limited 16:235

So you can clearly see that both are accepted (at least at input level). Right now HDMI negotiation of Full is forced by autostart (see post #1). But Kodi itself sends Full or Limited - it depends on settings. At least on my TV i can clearly see difference - with Limited colors are washed out. But with Full movies are very dark. Yo can check which settings are best on post nr 1360.

But (IMHO only) best settings are with Kodi set to Full, no dithering, but on TV level setting forced to Limited (usung xrandr). So on my setup autostart looks like this:

Code:
OUTPUT=`xrandr -display :0 -q | sed '/ connected/!d;s/ .*//;q'`
xrandr -display :0 --output $OUTPUT --set "Broadcast RGB" "Limited 16:235"
/usr/bin/kodi --standalone
