Hi, what you're looking at is the difference between the in-camera Canon processing and Darktable's processing. DT has its own way of processing the RAW data in the CR2 file that is not 100% the same way Canon uses, which produces changes in the final output. Is not that one or the other are right or wrong, they're just different.
> When importing photos (CR2) into Darktable (2.0.7), > colors/contrast/brightness... aren't the same as in the "Gnome Document > Viewer" preview (and on the screen of my 80D). The Gnome's viewer is probably using the JPG preview embedded in the CR2 file, and in that case it should look almost the same to the 80D's screen. DT takes the real CR2 data and processes it, so it will almost always look different (it's also color managed, so there may also be a difference there if you profiled your monitor) > I initially had problems with Darktable 1.4.2 where every photo (same > format, same DSLR) imported would look pink.

Your problem with DT 1.4.2 was probably related to the camera being unsupported yet (wild guess). What you have now is probably not a problem, just a different look. I had the same "shock" the first time I used it, because one is used to the Canon processed look and DT's look "different". But after a while I learned to stop looking to Canon's JPG as "the" target and perfect processing, and to use my own judgement (and DT powerful processing) to decide how the image should look like. So, don't worry! Start playing with DT (and read the manual), and you'll soon find out that you can control the final image much more.
