Mark;

All those images are both over saturated for color and extremely over sharpened.

They are almost litho or line art drawing rather than representative real Astro images.

See:

or

or

for more realistic images.

The color balance requires very fine (.0x) adjustments of the R G B Gain values. To get the colors so that are nearly neutral gray and then increase the saturation.

HTH..
