Rods are more sensitive to light than cones. This is why in low light, colors appear muted. In this context, photographers can adjust the length of exposure to get an image that is more colorful than what our eyes can perceive. Really depends on how bright the aurorae are which can be affected by various factors such as light pollution, solar wind speed, and latitude.
