In the same way microwave radio pictures can be built up with colour.
Sounds like you're confusing what part of the spectrum of light is hitting the sensor vs what is displayed on screen here. With Hubble palette, 2 of the 3 color channels are from red spectrum light. To represent those 2 reds on screen we put them in the R and G channel of the final image.

As H said, you need to change your thinking. Separate what the sensor is receiving from what the image displays.
