You won't see colour in deep sky objects with visual observing as the rod cells in your retina that register low light don't code for colour. Imaging equipment does so photos can reveal colour that your eye won't see. As Trevor says there is still a lot to observe in monochrome. Also stars will show colour as will some planetary nebulae.
