LCD Image Color

I've noticed that the colors in the viewfinder don't match the image colors after I've dumped them onto my hard drive for playback. Everything seems very saturated on the LCD (using the Faithful profile) - everything comes out flat after the upload, which is fine, but does this mean I can't rely on the LCD for an accurate color tone? I'm also getting yellow hues in the LCD in the 4k color temperature range, but they come out fine (not as yellow) when played back on my laptop.

Anyone else experiencing this?
 
You should only use the camera's LCD to gauge exposure, focus, and framing only. Colors can be corrected in post; the others, not so much.

Keep in mind that different displays are calibrated differently. I would be willing to bet that the camera's LCD is more properly calibrated than your laptop. (Most computer displays are not properly calibrated by default.) So you should look into calibration for your laptop.
