Is my Ring too pink?

This is my first attempt at imaging the Ring. Let's get the particulars out of the way:
LRGB 60:24:24:24, 6 min subs, colors binned 2x2, imaged at 1200mm, f/7.9, Astrodon LRGB
This is a crop of a larger frame.

So, do these colors look right to you? Suggestions?

Lou

Too pink, Louis.
What did the RGB look like? Red, I assume? If so, then list your processing steps for combining the L with the RGB. There are numerous places where you could have gone pink.
The larger stars show a distinct, hard edge within the halo. I would back off on your sharpening for a more natural appearance.

Lou,
I like the image. the color might be a bit pink. I think it would not seem as pink if the underlying luminance was increased in contrast and perhaps lowered a bit.
