I normally see the green shades in M42, and sometimes pink under dark skies when it's high. PN's do show colour reasonably well. normally NGC 3132 shows up as blue to me. As Alex mentioned, A filter really helps. just recently, I was at Bilpin, the weather was great, and the skies were dark. M57 got up, and it showed up as grey, but when I screwed on the OIII filter, it came up as blueish green with hints of red on the outside. Its a shame M57 doesn't get up very high.
