How can I make blue tones less intense when matching a camera picture profile from RAW?

I like my camera’s built-in picture profile, but I prefer to shoot RAW and recreate that look in Capture One Pro 9. I’ve gotten close, but the result still has stronger blues than the in-camera rendering. What adjustments typically help reduce the intensity of blue tones and get closer to a camera’s JPEG/picture profile look when processing RAW?

Camera picture profile settings are often stored in the RAW metadata, but many third-party RAW converters don’t fully apply them. So an exact match may not be possible in Capture One alone.
To get closer, the main adjustments suggested are:
- Exposure: Your version may simply be a bit darker. Raising exposure can make the blues appear lighter and less dominant.
- White balance: WB strongly affects blue/red balance. Shifting WB can reduce overly strong blues and bring the image closer to the in-camera look.
- Color/profile settings: Try different built-in color profiles or rendering styles in your RAW editor, since these can change saturation and color response.
If you need the closest possible match to the camera’s picture profile, open the RAW file in the manufacturer’s own software first. That software is more likely to reproduce the in-camera profile accurately. You can then export a TIFF and continue editing in Capture One if needed.

The picture profile should still be stored in the raw file. Third party raw converters usually ignore them and thus cannot recreate the exact look.
If manually fiddling around with the adjustments is not getting you close enough, open the raw file in the software that came with your camera. It should be able to recreate the picture profile and allow you to export to an intermediate format like .tiff, which you can then use in Capture One.
