Hard to tell without being closer :) Nebulae might not even emit that strongly in the spectrum that we humans can see. A lot of these pictures are taken with special narrowband filters that isolate wavelengths for specific components, such as Oxygen or Hydrogen. Then these narrowband images are combined and assigned to the R, G, B channels. A popular palette is the "Hubble Palette" because, well, that is what the Hubble uses.
