  I'm going to guess you're using color management on this pass without linear space.

  Please could you explain clearly?  It's not affected passes. Only a beauty image

  I think we have a language issue here, you said in the first post that it's the normal pass but now say it's the beauty render. I'm confused by what you mean.
  
  
  But it looks like it's all or nothing for render passes, I haven't been using color management for my renders I apologize if I'm wrong here. What I think you need to do is make sure this box is not checked.
  
  
  
  Also, this video demonstrates using some math nodes to correct the normals render, mayne this will help you?

  Unfortunately It doesn't help me. It was unchecked like on your screenshot. My problem is a look of a normal map. I would like to render a normal map pass but I ca't get a right look of the map. It looks wrong. I attached another picture.
