With faint stuff like nebs and stars everyones eyes see colours a bit differently. Many double star observers report very different colour contrasts even in quite bright doubles, so variation in sensitivity to the colours of M42 is not surprising. I have only positively seen colour once when I distinctly saw shandes of green, aqua green and even a little pink on a night of exceptional clarity in my 12".
