I decided to produce several variants of elements to color mapping (between Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen and Sulfur , or Ha, OIII, NII, SII and Red, Green and Blue), and various degrees of saturation and contrast (to accommodate different monitors and media).
(SN)HO (Sulfur/Nitrogen = Red, Hydrogen = Green, Oxygen = Blue), Deep

O(SH)N
