Question

lightroom adding colors in develop tab

I shoot RAW images from my Canon 200D, I use a flat color profile. when I import all raw images to Lightroom and tab on the developing section, the colors of the photo change It seems like the lightroom making auto coloring! How can I disable this? 

I've checked the quick develop section and made sure that I'm not adding automatic presets, I've also tried to remove lightroom and install it again, but nothing.

Pretty sure there are camera matching profiles available fo this camera.

"Pretty sure there are camera matching profiles available for this camera."

 

The Cameras supported by Camera Raw table now includes whether there are camera-matching profiles available, and the Canon 200D does indeed have them.

This is (really) what your raw data looks like:

 

Your camera builds a proprietary JPEG for you to view on the LCD and that preview is embedded into the raw. You initially see this one version of a proprietary rendering of the above, then LR has to build its own version based on how you set up LR to preview your data. You should never expect the proprietary raw to JPEG conversion in the camera to match anything else. It might get 'close' visually with a camera matching profile or it may not. But the point is, the preview you first see, the preview on the camera is simply one interpretation of the above raw data and every product that builds or renders this, does this differently. It is proprietary to that product.

RAW images first appear in Lightroom Classic from the JPG preview embedded in the file. A few seconds later, after Lightroom Classic has had the time to render the actual RAW image, the appearance changes to the rendering of the RAW. The embedded JPG preview and rendered RAW will very often look different.

 

This is normal behavior for Lightroom Classic and cannot be turned off.

But the photo looks different from what I was seeing on my camera, also I use a flat profile so its easier for me to color it, but this made it useless !

As @dj_paige wrote the embedded JPG preview and the rendered RAW looks different very often.

You also can't really trust that what you see on your camera display. Do you used an calibrated monitor? 

If possible post screenshots to make clearer how much different the picture looks like.
