Color of Exported Video Drastically Different from View in FCP

The view of my video and subsequent color boards and edits looks fine in FCP. However when I export (Apple ProRes HQ) the colors are significantly more saturated and the picture more contrasty. What am I missing?! In attached image the top is as viewed in FCP, the bottom how it appears in Compressor and after export either from Compressor OR FCP.

Without seeing your attachment I'll take a guess that this may be caused by a gamma setting in your monitor profile. I noticed a while back under the current and a few previous versions of FCPX that the viewer images always looked fine, however creating a still frame from the video looked over saturated and very contrasty when viewed in Preview or most other applications. My custom monitor calibration profile was the culprit. I reset the profile to the default for the monitor and all subsequent stills created from video matched the viewer perfectly in all apps I tried. I believe this would also apply to the exported video, so you might take a look at that.
