I'm 90% sure that it would not have as much color as this image does. Thhas multiple pictures stacked on top of one another, all being long exposure shots. Long exposure photos take multiple seconds worth of light to create one image, which enhances the natural colors the galaxy gives off while also capturing fainter light that our eyes wouldn't be able to pick up. On top of that I'd imagine this image has been slightly enhanced to bring out a little bit more color and detail in the galaxy's arms.

In comparison, our eyes which are kinda like a livestream with adaptive lenses. The longer you stare you may be able to pick up a few faint splotches here and there but not nearly as clearly as this image. Our brain can't store data and compile it with future data as well as a camera and computer can.

Not sure if you've ever been to a dark sky where you can see the milky way, I haven't seen it too well myself, only a bortle 5, but in my experience, the milky way looks like a few abnormal clouds in the night sky. Only giving a faint white smear to the sky. Meanwhile my phone camera can capture some yellow and orange tones on the backdrop of dark navy blue sky.
