FCP7 pays no attention to color management and often mishandles RGB renders.
If you're rendering to an RGB codec, you may be able to fix this problem on the FCP side. After importing the item into FCP, select it in the browser, hit Cmd-9 to pull up item properties, right-click on the gamma value (defaults to Source) and select 2.20.
