I have exactly the same experience that you do when viewing northern lights: pale and usually colorless, only occasionally seeing a hint of blue. And I see the same way with star color, too. On the other hand, I can see as many as 11 Plieades on a good night, which is more than average.
First, a little bit of background on them. The northern lights are the result of electrically charged particles from the sun colliding with gaseous particles in the Earthâs atmosphere, causing displays of bright, colourful dancing lights.
