I have FCP and a Kona LHi, and I don't see YUV-10 as an option in the Capture tool.  All my presets are variations on RGB.  I'm fairly certain that Kona only captures RGB, and not 16-235.  

And IINM, 16-235 suggests an 8-bit color space, whereas a 10-bit would be 0-32768 (or some other much larger range than 0-255), correct?

In any event, I've never seen a ProRes file from tape or telecine via Kona that was in 16-235.  I've seen it through Avid hardware, though.

If you have a broadcast monitor, I don't know if it even matters that much.  I'm getting more footage in that's RAW or linear, which often doesn't look good or right without color correction.  As long as you can make it look nice with color correction, that's what's important.  

Putting a Levels plug on your footage with the Input Black set to 16, and the Input White set to 235 will adjust it to 0-235 (in an 8-bit project).

A client has sent me a file and they are not colorspace savvy. It’s a ProRes 422 HQ file that was captured off D5 tape into Final Cut as “YUV-10” via Kona 3 card SDI.

ProRes is not tagged and having difficult figuring out best colorspace for it. Rec709 and sRGB looked a little washed out. Rec709 (16-235) looks better in midtones but gamma a bit dark. P3 looks richer but a little darker still.
 
File is pillarboxed and pillarboxes are RGB 0,0,0.
 
Can’t find much help via google – any ideas?
