Phocus vs C1 Color Comparison

With the recent Capture One and Hasselblad partnership around editing workflows, I wanted to see how both color profiles compare.

I imported the exact same RAW file into Phocus and Capture One, made no adjustments, and exported both as full-quality JPGs using the default settings.

The first thing I noticed was that the Capture One export looks noticeably more saturated/vibrant (first image), while the Phocus export (second image) feels more natural and closer to what I personally expected from the file. At least to my eyes, I actually prefer the Phocus rendering.

Has anyone else compared the two? Is the extra saturation in Capture One simply its default color rendering, or is there another setting I should be looking at to get a closer match?
