I have noticed a similar effect. I have both RX100 IV and V models and the difference in the colours between cameras is quite striking, particularly unwanted magenta tones in the model V. I've tried to counter that by resetting the White Balance. I bumped up the temperature to 6000K via Menu > Camera > 5 > White Balance > C.Temp/Filter. In the same menu ...

If you look at any color wheel, you have two axes on the wheel:
To correct any color cast, this is usually enough. You can correct the main source of color shift in natural light on the temp axis (blue/yellow), and then do the fine tuning on the tint axis (magenta/green). Tint most often occurs through artificial light.

In order to fix this you have to add ...

What you can do is to memorize what style you use in the camera. Then install OLYMPUS Workspace from here (you need the serial number of your camera). Open the image(s) and apply the picture style you use in your camera for those photos.
This will apply (mostly) the style of photo as it is in preview.

Definitely don't have the camera do any image correction. You want to get the unchanged original image off the camera, save a copy, and do all image correction using good software.
All image correction should be done by eye. The best software can only do some basic things. It can't really react to things like your underwater photos.
Normal pictures are ...
