Yeah AMD GPU with bleeding edge mesa drivers (that won't make fun).
The only solution you have is
a) Either sett your TV to full color range
b) Use that Limit Color Range setting in xbmc
OSS amd driver can only output Full RGB. You can file this bug at bugs.freedesktop.org if you want.
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

You have a setting there to change the color output to rgb limited, yes.
But fglrx does not support hw acceleration - so your video playback will only be CPU accelerated.

....also. ...try adjusting your actual TV or displays settings based on the test pattern tool in Kodi settings. Sometimes it's the simple fixes that are the answer.
