Subject: Are the colors in Hubble images correct ?

                 Quite often I visit a web site that has Hubble 
Space Telescope
images , while looking at one of the images ( Hubble  11-5-98  
STScL-38),
I was awed by the beautiful color in the image.  I read in a 
magazine column         
 in answer to someone else�s question,  that the color rendition 
in photographs
of the cosmos are results of a commination of what the film see 
and
reciprocity failure , that no one could be sure of the true 
color of the light
source , I don�t know if this statement is or was true , or even 
that I remember
it correctly , however my question is , with the electronic 
images taken to day
, are the colors balanced to match standard astrophotography or 
are they more
accurate then a film version , or of course , do we still not 
know ?
                                             Thank You
