Single HA subs, are Black and White, but while combined with other Filters like OIII or SII, - they become colour. 
Or, Ha subs plus Colour subs from DSLR - of course are in Colour as DSLR cameras are colour, (Ha subs, in this case, are used to increase Nebula detail and it's red colour which comes from Hydrogen)

You can add a false colour to the Ha - I personally like doing that, but as Roland says they are just greyscale normally.

EG:

You can't really get easier than the Lagoon nebula. The Trifid, Eagle and Swan are also great.

M16 is nice target for ED80 / Atik414 combo if you've got a clear southern view.

M17 is easily visible in an eyepiece so lots of nebulosity there. My next target actually, weather permitting ?

[Stub Mandrel]

North America Nebula is nice and high up, big and bright and easy to star hop to from Deneb.

I've only done it in Ha, you could try more exposures on this is Ha to bring out more detail
