Yes, it makes sense. Gamma correction applies a non-linear transformation to 
the pixel values and can explain the problems you were seeing.

I've checked the default rgb2rgb matrix, and it should work fine for your case 
as all lines add up to 1.0. The default rgb2yuv matrix, however, limits Y 
values to 220, so you should modify it.
