Short version... Has anyone found an accurate (or better yet custom) picture style for on-set monitoring that mimics the default raw settings in Adobe's Camera Raw import?
Long version... I was able to calibrate my SmallHD AC7 monitor to color bars on the 5D mk3 (see bottom for the process if anyone's interested). However I noticed when I pull in the raw files they're usually darker/different than what I was expecting compared to the calibrated monitor on-set.
At first I was like "no problem, just boost the exposure, it's raw right?" But doing so introduces more noise since I found out that unlike the BMCC, Canon's raw ISO is 'analogue' rather than 'digital'. I tested this by setting a low ISO in camera as well as a high ISO, then boosting the raw exposure of the low ISO to visually match the look of the high. It was substantially noiser.

I read in another thread to try the 'landscape' picture style to get a closer on-set look, and I'll do some tests later using that, but was wondering if anyone knew of a custom picture style made specifically for ML Raw recording. I'd like to approximate the default look when bringing it into After Effect's Camera Raw import settings with the on-set monitor as close as possible.

Getting bars on the camera:
Basically I did what they said in the first vimeo link (take a picture in-camera of black, place the color bars that I got from the second link, into that .jpg, scale up, flatten, save), and then calibrate brightness and other settings following the third link. I used the .png that was IRE 0, (link toward bottom), instead of 7.5 since for my uses most stuff is either film or web.
