Apart from Obvious and easy to see colour in Planetaries like the Blue Planetary, the only DSO I see colour in is M42.

I see M42 as Pink and Green. I've never seen any blue in it.
To my eyes the green and pink are very obvious in my 12" Dob, and although the green is still visible in an 8" Dob the pink is really hard to see.
Dark skies really help. Any Moon light and I lose the colour in M42.

I see all other DSO's like Carina, Tarantula, etc in shades of Grey.
