In general, everything /u/Synaps4 said. That being said, as most meteorites are made of a variety of atom types that probably have different ionization energies, my bet is that you would see white as a default - as is consistent with personal meteorite viewing experience.
For this picture, my bet is Photoshop.

I've seen green meteorites a few times this year alone. They're not that uncommon.

I've personally seen green and pink meteors that my memory at least recalled as being this vivid. I doubt this image was processed any more than any other night landscape photograph would be.
