Question Colour Perception

Hi all,

I've been wondering about colour perception when viewing, I seem to see very little if any colour when viewing object like M42 and Ghost of Jupiter.. When I showed M42 to my brother and my daughter both remarked straight away on the blue-green colour but when I look at it I see shades of gray, similarly when viewing the Ghost of Jupiter last night, I knew it was bluish from looking at photographs but to me there was no really distinct colour yet on looking at some web-pages about it tonight most remarked that it is seen as distinctly blue through a telescope.. do you find people have varying degrees of colour perception at night or is just me?
