I thank you all for the replies and suggestions. I will try to look at
them in the next days (sorry, but I have been busy taking pictures in
the last days ;-)).
Some replies to different posts are below.

I don't think this is the problem. I checked saturation with dcraw and
the value set in the dcraw code is lower than the one of my camera.
Furthermore, I tried playing with the ufraw (dcraw) matrix profile and I
discovered that, by lowering linearity (I was using 0.10, I am now using
0.05), the yellow cast, that was also there, almost disappears.

Thanks, I will check that!

I will try with a different target as soon as I can get one.
I tried removing some patches from the ti3 file (one or two yellow ones
that had high errors) and this slightly improved things.

I will also check this!

RawTherapee is a great tool, but the last time I tried it, a couple of
months ago, it had too many bugs. I tested photivo and, despite being a
bit complex (too many options, probably), I like it... The only problem
is that it uses an old release of dcraw where the Canon 5D III is not
supported... I will wait for a newer release.

Edmund, I think Stephen already gave a reply to this: unfortunately,
many great raw conversion pieces of software miss a good color profile.
I am now playing with ufraw (dcraw) matrix profile and I have to admit
that the one for the 5D III does not look so bad if properly tuned.
Regards,
Alberto
