I feed mine fauna marine lps pellets. Almost an instant feeding response. After that I throw some mysis on the feeding tentacles.

How long have they been in your tank, and any other changes recently? I wouldn't feed brine shrimp, those are pretty much just water... I use pellet food for LPS if they need some TLC, works fine but easy to overdo and wreck your water quality, especially with the amount that scolys can eat.

High nitrates shouldn't cause a loss in color...unless you mean they're just turning brown. If they're turning brown, I wouldn't feed...means there are plenty of healthy zooxanthallae.
If your scoly's are turning white/pale, then yes, you most definitely need to feed. I use a homemade mixture of blended raw shrimp, scallops, oysters, clams, seaweed, garlic, etc. But, feeding will only help keep them healthy...not fix whatever issue you had.
Loss of color usually results from high-intensity lighting, zero lighting, or a sudden change in water parameters (too much GFO at once, huge water change, etc.) I would figure out why they're bleaching (if that's what you meant) before hoping just feeding will help.
