You know I don't know the real answer to that, but I can make wild and crazy guesses...

... unmodded DSLR shots I've seen of Cat's Paw, Lagoon, even Eta Carinae also aren't really red, they're kind of purples.

Maybe those nebulae are emitting slightly more in the red range, and Tarantula is emitting more outside or beyond that range and we're only seeing the blue-green parts more dominantly?
