Hello i an a user of a sony a7 iii and today i realise that i have a very different colors in lightroom. I have the v11,2 version.  The colors between the camera lcd display with the lightroom cannot match even the exposure ... i open 3 different softwares to compare the histograms ... Here you can see that the instogram in lightroom differs a lot . The first is lightroom , second is photo mechanic and the last is sony edit software ..

They all differ in what they show based upon the data reported, nothing unusual here.

Camera LCD= JPEG.

Lightroom (for raw) equals a ProPhoto RGB like color space (MelissaRGB).

None have anything to do with exposure because they do not show you a raw Histogram. A product like RawDigger does!

This may help too:

There is no 'solution' nor one needed as the Histogram is reporting the current rendering (proprietary in each converter) based on those settings and the color space used to report the Histogram. They differ, they should be expected to differ with raw data.

A JPEG or TIFF is in defined color space and rendered. All three products should show the same Histogram although the scaling may differ.

IF these are raws, then every program renders a preview and the Histogram differently, all proprietary processing.

This is really what your raws look like before any of this (and what RawDigger allows you to see and inspect):
