It is a relatively peaceful (greenpeace?), youthful (greenhorn?) dainty (Daintree rainforest?) area, with very little SII. Trying to make it battle red [SII] when it isn't would be unfaithful to the light, and unfaithful to the physics. Embrace the green, for what it is telling us.

I don't often think of "Wolf-Rayet" and "peaceful" as having similar connotations
, but I guess that depends on how close you are to one.
From this distance, that is a great image with lots of very interesting stuff going on - the colours bring out the underlying physics and thanks for the informative discussion
