Colors from RAW images look different than “raw” colors in real life and somehow… “ugly”. Of course these files needs post-processing so the colors of those will be better and life-like, but I think there is something about the camera, the sensor… so that RAW files look like that.
I’m looking forward to reading interesting explanations from you guys!

RAW images aren’t really even images. They can be rendered to an image, but they contain sensor data with little to no interpretation. Things like exposure are partially controlled in software, and RAW files have data not adjusted for exposure, though it has some metadata. This is also why software like lightroom can do more dramatic but largely lossless changes to the base image in things like exposure: it reinterprets the data as opposed to changing the already interpreted data.
