colored infrared

I am using an Olympus c2100UZ for infrared photographs. It produces beautiful black and white shots right out of the camera with no post processing. I see lots of colored infrared photos with deep blues in them on pbase. Could anyone advise how to achieve this effect. I assume it involves the channel mixer which I have played with a little bit with no luck.

Thanks.

I had my Canon 20D converted to infrared, and when I process the RAW files I play with the color temps before outputting tiffs to bring into Photoshop. There I run an action called Khromagery FalseColors, and depending on the color temps I choose, the colors will be deeper and bright. It's still a trial and error thing for me, but here's the first time out with the converted camera:

The action is here with an explanation of how it works:
