| It took me a while to realize, that what the camera is putting into
| jpg is not the "truth". I guess your camera has different "picture
| styles" like portrait or landscape. [...]
While all of this is true (colour is ultimately an artistic choice),
it's also the case that there *is* a technically correct colour
rendition for a RAW. This correct colour rendition can be mapped out by
photographing colour calibration charts such as the various ColorChecker
models.
If darktable doesn't properly map the colours of a calibration chart
for a particular camera[*], I would consider it a bug. Aritistic colour
choices are easier to make when you have a good starting point.
(Such correct colour may or may not match the in-camera JPEG rendition.
It probably will not if the in-camera JPEG rendition has turned up the
saturation and so on.)
