no, exactly I did NOT meant that.
that's why I phrased 'wrapper':
a bit confusing, but there's mpeg4, the codec, and there's mp4 the wrapper or media-container:
• use your .mov you have already exported, which has the right colors.
• download/install the free tool Mpeg Streamclip
• open your mov, go straight to 'save as' and choose from drop down mp4
• save and upload that mp4 for comparison to Vimeo
• (tell us, wether you notice any difference, as said, just an assumption)
What will that do?
your h264 encoded material is actually in a .mov-wrapper
Streamclip unwraps that, and puts it into a .mp4-wrapper
this does NOT encode/transcode/affect your h264 material!
it just changes the box, not the chocolate!
What's NOT working is changing the suffix in a Finder operation - that does NOT affect the 'atoms' of the wrapper = a re-named mp4 will be 'noticed' by many programs/players as a mov anyhow! You HAVE to go the 'long' way with Streamclip - due to the simple re-packing operation, that process needs only seconds 😉

I'm using this process to 'convert' my FCPX/iMovie .mov-exports to a readable format for my son's Playstation3 ... mov is a nogo, re-named suffix is a nogo. only re-wrapping to .mp4 works. excellent.
... but, as mentioned, I do care very little about gamma and luma as an hobbyist, my 'products' are under-exposured and veeery colorful anyhow 🙂
