I also like the colours it produces.
This myth really needs to die. Sony makes the sensor. Adobe makes the DCP profile for it. Those two components define the colors you see. Leica has absolutely nothing to do with the colors. In fact, it says right there in the top right corner in Lightroom: "Adobe color".
Just keep in mind that Sony does not make all of the sensors used in the Leica SL's. The Leica SL2's 47.3-megapixel sensor was designed by TowerJazz and manufactured by STMicroelectronics, not Sony. I'm not sure about all of the other models though I'm fairly confident that the 60MP SL3 sensor is made by Sony.
Edit: from Google AI:
The 47-megapixel sensor used in the Leica SL2 camera was produced by TowerJazz for Panasonic. It is the same sensor used in the Panasonic S1R.
The sensor in the Leica SL (the predecessor to the SL2) was designed by TowerJazz and made by STMicroelectronics.
STMicroelectronics also produces other CMOS image sensors for various applications, including automotive and industrial vision systems.
Key points:
Leica SL2 sensor: TowerJazz produced the 47MP sensor for Panasonic which is used in the SL2.
Leica SL sensor: Designed by TowerJazz and made by STMicroelectronics.
STMicroelectronics: Manufacturer of various CMOS image sensors.
