if we were looking for a transparent part in this image enhancement, it would mean it should be white? (correct me if I'm wrong)

You are wrong on this. The false color boundaries represent isolumes of light coming from the galaxy. It is NOT a measure of opacity. Also, how did you gather that white would represent transparency in these images?
I saw the article. It backs up my statement.
