Narrowband tends to a lot of poetic license
Take this one, it has she sulphur as red (which is it), hydrogen as green (it's also red) and oxygen as blue (which it is).

Sulphur and hydrogen are both red, sulphur being a redder red When just working with Ha and OIII sometimes a synthetic green is made from a combination of the two.
