Never Twice the Same ColourDepends whether you're talking PAL or NTSC, Japan or anywhere else.
Black levels in Japan are 0IRE (RGB: 0 0 0) but everywhere else it's about 7.5IRE (RGB: 16 16 16).
As a rule, for PAL keep all channels between 16-235 and everything should be ok.
If you're using NTSC (Never Twice the Same Colour) then god* help you.
* being that there is no god, in other words you're screwed.

further explanationYou can never trust colour management on TVs or projectors.. profiling can only do so much. What you can limit is colour bleeding and flare etc from levels that are too hot or noise in areas that are too black.. so your colours won't look identical but if you keep them away from full black and full white they'll be more reliable and less likely to make your whole image look like shite.

NTSCOh no!
*gulp*
Thanks for your response!
EDIT:
I'll just keep the colors in that RGB range and keep the white/black slider-thingy in the middle. How about gradients? I was going to use them. Methinks I won't now. Thanks again BTW. Great help that was. :)
