The colorful region around Antares in Scorpius and blue Rho Ophiuchi in Ophiuchus

The colorful region around yellow Antares (bottom) in Scorpius and blue Rho Ophiuchi (top) in Ophiuchus. The nebulae are largely reflection nebulae, taking on the color of the stars embedded in the nebulae. However, the field also contains a lot of emission nebulosity, hydrogen gas glowing red and magenta. Plus there are fingers of brown dark dusty nebulosity. It is one of the most colorful regions of the sky.
At right of Antares are two globular clusters, NGC 6144, and the larger Messier 4, right of Antares
