Why did NASA's Orion capsule change colour after reentry?

The photos from the Artemis 1 mission show the capsule in space as a silverish metallic colour, yet after splashdown it is completely black with what I assume are heat tiles covering it. Was there a coating that burned off? If so what was the point of it?
