Should The Galaxy be orange everywhere?

Thats for the planets I am talking about the galaxy , I am talking about the milkyway
As someone has already said that is light pollution from the enormous glowing ball of fusion reactions that you're next to. Easiest way to get a proper look at a nebula is either fly a few thousand LS away from the star, or better still head to the dark side of a nearby planet. As an example of the difference, here's two pictures from the surface of a planet inside the Bubble Nebula.
This is during the day, when the star is overhead -you can see the slight purple colouring in the sky better than you could right next to the star but it's hardly vibrant:
This is by night when the star is on the other side of the planet - think you'll agree the nebula is slightly more noticeable
Sure, but what if the starlight reflecting off of all those beige planets was actually making the glow of the galaxy look more...beige?
I guess that the "future's bright, the future's orange" actually happened, then... Who'd have thought it?
Then I would be very impressed.Sure, but what if the starlight reflecting off of all those beige planets was actually making the glow of the galaxy look more...beige?
Because it would mean they made a crazy lighting engine that is able to do some crazy lighting effects that spread over LY. lol
My guess is it's space dust reflecting the common orange and yellow stars light, closer you get to the core the less orange you see, if you go above the core you'll see the other colors

To the human eye, the Milky Way just looks faint blue-ish white. All nebulas (that I've seen!) also just look blue-ish white. It's because they are too faint to actually activate the colour receptors in the eye.
I think a more realistic, more blue colour would look nicer, but I don't advocate just making everything white. Some variety is nice (especially in nebulas)

I think it looks nice but yes, doing a bit of exploring lately and slowly edging my way nearer the centre, I have found the view towards the middle of the milky way to be very orange generally.
If that's the way it would look then cool, bring it on. But is it too orange? I mean, what with the orange hud and the orange view out of my space-window, it's all very, very orange.

This is a full horizon to horizon panorama of the galactic plane that I shot from Namibia. It extends from Eta Carinae to the North America Nebula.
The image was shot with a Canon 60D that had the IR/UV filter removed to enable the H-Alpha emission lines to pass through.
It has been histogram adjusted so that the RGB levels are balanced, background gradients have been removed and there is no extra saturation applied. Its as clean as it can be.
The color balance and brightness in the Elite galactic plane render is pretty good in comparison.
