Recently transitioned to a reef tank from my 75g FOWLR and need getting where i want it to be

I have a zetlight qmaven 6800 and keeping lps and softies
The light has 4 spectrums that you can adjust 0-100% White, Blues, Red/Green, Violet/Blue/UV

My rocks are currently brownish/red and i need help getting rid of that coloration as well as providing adequate light for my corals. All of parameters are stable now so that should help but im lost with the light. Currently am ramping blues up to about 50% each day and white and violet to 25ish%. Using very little red channel knowing it can promote the algae

What colors should i use primarily to get rid of algae issue and promote healthy corals? Also is that intensity good? Too high too low?
