The NGC 6530 is within a
nebula (i.e. a cloud of gas, dust and other materials). The infobox image
[1] captures the visible spectrum and it does a poor job of showing the gasses and clouds. The nom image is in the infrared spectrum[2]and shows the cloudy and gaseous nature of the NGC 6530 region (albeit a small part of it). I wouldn't call it false colors because imaging the non-visible spectrum is just as important as the visible spectrum.Bammesk (

You are right, it doesn't say infrared, it says near-infrared. As far as your point about the EV, the nom image shows the gas and clouds vividly which is relevant to the star forming nature of this region.
