Aquablue special washing out colors?

[RedReefer]

I've always used the coral plus bulb but I decided to try a aquablue special. I noticed loss of color in certain coral. I used to run front to back ATI fixture & bulbs
Purple +
Blue+
Coral +
Blue +
True actinic
Blue +
Three months ago I switched out the coral+ for a aquablue special. Has anyone else experienced the AB washing out colors?

I have that bulb and It is a more white color so that could be a reason. It only has a hint of blue in the bulb and is more for growing coral not much as a coral popping bulb.

I've been running 2x ABS & 2x B+ for 3yrs. No washed out corals at all.

The bulb shouldn't wash any color out it is just diff look to u, but trust me it may grow on u.

This is my tank with only t5 Aquablu Special...

Ab Special is the real light of the first 3 meter reef (maybe something like 6500 kelvin will be more similar)

All using Blu light...

Blu light is an ugly woman with mask... But I understand that this help..

Blu is magic... Yes... To cover disaster...
