Hello again Phyllis.

No I'm not "sparkill", that person is obv smart and I'm an idiot :)

OK.  I read that person's thread.  Changed my project from RGBA to YUV-A
8Bit and now the colors are very, very close.
Even better than my brightness/contrast tweak, and I can live with this.

Just for conversation's sake, perhaps the slight variation is the yuv that
OBS uses?  I've never changed the default settings there.

OBS has me set up for:

Color Format: NV12
Color Space 709
Color Range Partial

Anyway I consider this issue resolved.  The video's are near identical and
perfect enough for my needs.

Again, thank you! :) Have a great day.
