 It has something to with that

 You can -vf scale...

 You're assuming that he's using a different matrix for playback ?

 One possible difference is the matrix used for YUV<=>RGB, but even if you
 use the correct matching matrix for both directions (and back to RGB for
 display), you will still get slightly off colors

 You will usually not get exact colors from 8bit RGB with 8bit YUV because
 the color models do not overlap perfectly and you will get rounding errors
 +/-3, even with correct matching matrix transform YUV<=>RGB in either
 directions

 ffmpeg -y -t 4 -loop 1 -i 1.png -vf scale=1302:2183:out_color_matrix=bt709
 3.mp4

 It's closer, but still off

 RGB 238,77,45

 3.mp4 (8bit YUV444) converted to RGB with 709 RGB 239,78,44

 2.mp4 (libx264rgb) RGB 239,77,45
