You should probably post this in the Davinci Resolve forum - you'll get help grading them to look similar.
Short answer, there's many reasons your images look different, here's a few:
Different Sensors (different cameras)
Different WB settings in the camera
Different lenses
Different filtration (I.E. glass in front of lens)
Different sensitivities to IR wavelength light (infra red pollution)
You really need to read up on my points above. There's lots of threads on the board discussing all of these points, and more. But in a nut shell, the sensors in the BMPC 4K and UM4.6k are built by different manufacturers, so you'll need to do more work to get them to match. The Cinema Camera, Pocket Camera and UM4.6k all use sensors from the same manufacturer and are the easiest to match. The BMPC4K, URSA and UM4K have the same sensors, so they are easier to match.
When you get to post you want the greatest quantity of available information/bitrate to correct. If you're using ProRes/DNxHD then your WB is baked in, so make sure your setup is as accurate as possible (WB, exposure, filtration etc) try to use the best quality. RAW is best.
