Allan we can argue all we like about colour but it is pointless, as it does not exist as a property of the light. It is purely a sensation our brains construct from sensory inputs.
Like you I prefer 'natural' colours. We just cannot see HA or NII or SII as our eyes sensitivity is very low at these wavelengths. Same goes for violet and UV.
The professional astronomers can now image into the far IR and far UV/Xrays/Gamma Rays. What colours should we assign to them?
A simple rule would be a system that conveys visually the most information in the data. It is all arbitrary.
