A big post.
For me what is real is what my brain perceives.
In reality you only have red. green, blue and light sensitive receptors
Any other colours are artifacts of you brains processing.
So who is to say what is real or not.

I come from a nuclear medicine background
Here we try to extract maximum details from a limited number of gamma ray photons.
Say 250K to a million counts within a narrow energy window. The images are then processed
with an assortment of colour palettes to bring out the details. A 140KEV photon of course has no colour. But adding colour certainly helps in diagnosis. There is also an inherent lack of resolution as it is impossible to focus a gamma ray in medical imaging.

So I find that you cannot apply all the same rules as you would for normal daylight photo's/perception to night time viewing or imaging.
Again I would apply the principle of extracting maximum information from a limited data set.

To me there is no holy grail about what is right and how it should be perceived/presented.
The illusion of perfection is largely in our minds
