Does it really matter? I remember reading about this in one of Richard Dawkins' book (I think its Unweaving the rainbow). Now you can complain about the Crab Nebula, whether its color correction, or you are lucky enough to view it up close with a naked eye.

The colors you observe are just models of the different frequencies which our brain has evolved into to label as "red", "violet", or "#782". :)

A much less/more evolved brain (be it alien or terrestrial) will observer it much differently.

Sorry to bring biology into this :)
