The James Webb telescope does not capture any color information, it only captures IR radiation. You can color the IR based on frequency, but those are not the colors of that ring Nebula, but instead a mapping of color someone randomly selected.

Damn. Or …they used a color observed with some visible light telescope.

It is actually blue with red around it. The colors here are completely made up. Here a picture from Hubble
