that's right
when I first developed this method back in the early 2000s I didn't call it that. But really that is what it is generically. It is tricolor emission line imaging. I don't think the term "mapped color" is very precise: even RGB imaging is "mapped color": you "map" Red filtered data to the Red channel and so on. So to be as descriptive as possible and to avoid ambiguity, I have settled on "tricolor emission line"
likewise I have adopted the name "wavelength ordered palette" instead of "Hubble palette", which I coined many years ago, because it is more precise and less ambiguous and better describes the palette.
you can do what you want, but I like to set the record straight from time to time....
