Yep. I agree with your side by side shots that they almost look the same!
Now I can only see little difference in the color of the skin near the left forearm (dpp is redder) and in the background near left shoulder (RT is cooler).
But these differences are not as much as I thought before.
If I look at Aleph’s post the grey backgrounds are obviously different. Darker on RT. The lady is “hotter” on the RT shot, probably more natural and the hair tint is more obvious. Put all together and the processing is entirely different.
When I set a camera profile in RT I have to navigate to it. Not noticed any auto selection.
As I mentioned Canon’s software will very probably be using one of the curves that it uses to map raw into the camera jpg’s. Most cameras have several of them - settings such as landscape, portrait, high key and even diy on on some cameras. RT wont have done that and adjusting colour temperatures to fix the difference wont be the correct way to obtain the same results. It’s the equivalent of using one of RT’s curves panels.
Personally I always set camera white balance to auto and stick with it through out unless I can see good reasons to change it manually during processing.
According to DisplayCAL using either monki display or photo my max de on that shot is well under 1. If it had a bright white in it that could reach 1.5.

The colours on Canon’s preview images depend on the “style” selected. These styles are available as icc profiles in DPP’s installation directory (Windows), with cryptic names, but correct descriptions.
Most of the time, my camera is set to standard style, the neutral style should be the most useful when looking at the camera’s RGB histogram. It is, of course, still far from RT’s neutral profile.
Switching styles in DPP (Mac/Win) is an obvious way for comparison. Which style was used for this screenshot (sorry, if I have missed this)?
The DPP style was “Standard”, contrast 1, Sharp 4, Saturation 0 (however on the second tab saturation was set at 196)
On RT I did a simple custom “S” curve with only two nodes in Standard mode.
@Jacal, can you share the Canon icc profiles?
I’m not sure, it is free software, but profiles - like everything else - are licensed with Canon, all rights reserved.
Edit: The path on Windows is
C:\Program Files\Canon\Digital Photo Professional 4\DPP4Lib\icc
More on the subject:
I do shoot Canon and have used their software. As far as I’m aware they effectively use an icc files on all of their cameras that will shoot raw.
The Adobe profiles do differ but I’ve not found that to be a problem. They did tend to bring in more highlight than Canon did but that was some time ago and may have changed due to the number of stops wars in jpg’s.
Photivo comes with a lot of camera profiles. That can be a good source at times if it has one specifically for the camera that has been used.
As you mention though the solution is to use the same profile in both applications.
The other problem can be that the manufacturer’s software may play with colouration. That in some ways put me right off shooting Nikon.
John
Then, how can I get an icc profile for my Canon EOS 5D?
I went to Windows:
Archivos de programa/Canon/Digital Photo Professional/icc
but there you can find 37 icc files with cryptic names… 
@Aleph RawTherapee ships an ICC profile for the Canon EOS 5D, it also ships a DCP profile for it. Look in the iccprofiles\input and dccprofiles folders. If DPP ships 37 profiles for your camera model alone, these profiles likely include some effects baked into them. Unless you meant 37 profiles in total, not just for your camera.
Regardless, this exercise seems like a waste of time. The input profile’s job is to give accurate colors. It does. A different reading of WB temp and tint is not a problem.
Yes I have found the RT icc profile for the 5D, I can see only a subtle diference: the dark blues are less dark. I can see it in the nails, and (in other photographies) in the sky.
I also tried all the 37 DPP Profiles! I only can see two effects:
1- Some of them look very very dark
2- All the CNZ*.icc files look the same. The blues are more dark, and the red, and skin colors are only a little bit more yellow
Yes maybe you are right.
Some times I have some trouble for get the right colors in RT. But probably is my camera and the shooting conditions. I started as nature photographer using DPP because DPP got the best colors for my camera, Adobe Camera Raw and Lightroom are no the best for Nature photographie.
My question was my surprise about the diference 5000K-4650K
Now the question is clear, more o less…
I like RT and I use RT on PCLinuxOS almost exclusively in the last 3 years. Even for nature photographie 
Only one other question, sorry.
Then which .icc profile RT select when I click “Camera profile (auto select)”? Because the 5D icc looks a bit different.
@Aleph to be clear, the input profiles in RawTherapee are designed to give accurate colors. This is not the same thing as aesthetically pleasing colors or colors with a certain “look”. “because DPP got the best colors for my camera”, this is likely a result of DPP using a tone curve + a color mapping which gives a certain “look”. You can manually do the same in RawTherapee, then save the settings as a default PP3 for raw files. For example when working with skin one generally wants to smooth-out red splotches and shift reddish colors closer to skin colors (e.g. using the Vibrance - Skin Colors tool https://i.imgur.com/Fk0BgAM.jpg ).
RawTherapee first checks for a DCP input profile when opening a raw. If none exists, it looks for an ICC profile. If that does not exist, it uses hard-coded values from dcraw. As RawTherapee ships both an ICC and DCP input profile for the Canon EOS 5D, it will use the DCP by default. You could select the ICC manually https://i.imgur.com/c3R6Luh.png though it looks almost identical to the DCP.
Do you have a color target like the X-Rite ColorChecker Passport? If so, if you shot it under daylight and tungsten light I could improve the DCP.
Yes I did, I have a .pp3 with the hue reds a bit more up in the Lab mode.
Well, thanks, now it’s more clear for me.
Yes I used this tool sometimes.
Unfortunately I have not a color target.
Thank you very much Morgan!
DPP’s available files seem to be Canon’s generic profiles; FA.icc is Faithful AdobeRGB, PS.icc is Portrait sRGB, and so on. If I remember correctly, in daktable they can be made usable via the “unbreak input profile” module. They can be used for some comparisons, but I also wouldn’t bother with them too much.
Shhhhhhhhhhhhh don’t tell any one but adobe dng can be installed and it comes with all of the adobe profiles. Use wine on Linux.
RT has a panel to select the input profile. If not used I suspect it uses the Ufraw technique but am not sure.
John
Thank you Ajohn,
I have found the Canon 5D icc profile from Camera Raw or Lightroom 4 (I can’t remember now) in my old Windows partition.
A think that a good solution for my is to use the “default” profile (auto select) and change a bit the reds.
@Aleph A good way to learn about your raw file is to use exiftool or something similar. Other than that, @Morgan_Hardwood pretty much covered everything. A snippet of exiftool output:

-- press RETURN --@Aleph Before answering your question, please refer to Format your code to make it more readable and here.
exiftool is an excellent way to see the metadata of your camera or at least that which the camera decides to reveal. Different raw processors heed different portions of this info. It may also give us a hint on what is baked into the JPEG (or the RAW), if you know what you are looking for.
Regarding your question, you might be interested, for example, in the WB multipliers, the black / white points and the temperature presets of the camera. One thing that can be seen right away is that your camera’s auto WB wanted to be even warmer than your manual temp but sunlight is a bit less. Looks like the flash may have influenced the colors as well.
Another thing to note is the differences in k between camera presets. DPP would correspond to this but RT clearly has another interpretation. You could probably draw some graphs to compare if you really wanted to, but it might be hard to compare since DPP does more stuff to influence the default output than RT. Photography is just a hobby for me, so I might be wrong on a bunch of things, but hope this helped just a bit 
.
I was looking for something similar but I could not find it. Thanks.
Hard for me. I think the photography will be a hobby for me too
