Here's an interesting article:

Some context. 'Colour' doesn't actually matter when viewing the depths of space; it's scientifically a bit trivial. The universe isn't the light show in Star Trek: The Next Generation's opening crawl, it's measured more scientificaly on gravity and radiation. So adding a bit of spice to something the other end of telescope photographing something untold light years away to humanise it to our experience of existence is completely within the confines of cool. So yes, if we we a species were ever in the position to be in a spacecraft literally looking at the Pillars of Creation up close, i'm sure visually there would be a colour feast for our eyes; plus grayscale photographs tend to loose their impact of the heavens, given space is essentially black.
Or something, i've woken up two hours before schedual for some reason
