What is "default" for a Canon? My M6 has "auto" and "standard" picture styles, among others. I can't remember which one was set "out of the box". In the old days, it would have been the standard one, but now, I suspect that it's auto. Or at least, it's probably auto in some settings and standard in others. But I can't remember what position the mode selector dial was in when I took the camera out of the box, so I don't know which picture style it would have set. As far as I know, on "auto" the picture style the camera uses depends on what kind of scene it thinks it's shooting. So, in your example, auto might have given the landscape style, or it might have given the portrait style.

That is not how it works. The Auto picture style does not select one of the other picture styles. It works independently and the color tone will be adjusted automatically to suit the scene. My experience when shooting landscapes is that "Auto" is a little bit more vivid than "Standard" but not as vivid as "Landscape".
