Hi
As an fellow ZWO290Mc owner and user of SharpCap 2.9, this should help. When you open SharpCap and connect the camera and move the cursor to the right hand drop down menu to set shutter speed, resolution etc have a look further down the menu. Toward the bottom, under Image Controls
there are Gamma, Brightness and White Balance, R & B, sliders. Play with them until you get your desired colour balance.
My settings are changed a little depending if the target is Jupiter, Mars, Saturn or the Moon but are generally about - Gamma - 40 , Brightness - 80. White Balance R- 55. White Balance B - 45 .
For Jupiter these settings seem to give a reasonable representation of what the planets colours looks like to the eye. Can always up the colour saturation and balance later when processing .
Hope this helps.
