So do you have the R as well? What are your impressions regarding colors compared to that one?

I own an EOS Ra - which is almost identical in features to the R but has a sensor that is modified for astrophotography.  I also bought my wife an EOS RP a while ago.  I can't compare the colors with the Ra sensor because it's not suitable for terrestrial photography.  The images can indeed be edited but the process of editing the colors from the EOS Ra is subject to the errors of the person doing the editing.  I found accurate tweaking and editing to be possible for 85% of shots with the Ra... but human skin tones and grey colors from the EOS Ra were problematic.  Which is exactly the reason behind me buying the EOS R6.  If the R6 was not announced I would have bought an EOS R as my terrestrial camera.

Otherwise, the colors from the EOS R6 are excellent.  Typical of 'Canon-look' colors with a high degree of color accuracy and good automatic white-balance applied to JPEG images.  I'm not a RAW shooter but for JPEGS, the color accuracy is so far ideal.   Compared to the EOS RP, the colors are similar although exposure accuracy appears better on the R6.  I also prefer to higher shutter speeds and sensor protection that the EOS R6 offers over the RP.
