Everything looks different to camera than to an eye. Perfect color reproduction doesn’t really exist in photography. The bayer masks in your camera, they don’t filter the spectrum exactly the same as cones in your eyes do. The display you are looking at doesn’t even emit all the same frequencies the object in picture was illuminated by.

The thing you are looking at most likely reflects light, but the screen emits light, it looks completely different, of course it does.
