Yep, you should get a variety of colours.  The eye's most sensitive
receptors are not sensitive to colour so we only see stars as white spots.
Film will record the colours.  I've had nice results with Kodachrome 64,
leaving the lens (at 5.6) open for a few hours to get circumpolar trails.

TBH, the only way you're going to get that is to use a pro lab who'll let
you talk to the printer, or to print your own.  It's really not difficult,
and needn't cost much to get started.  Especially with the surge to
digital, there are lots of s/h darkrooms going!

Good luck!
