Corals that look best under power compact lighting

[kupadupapupa]

In your opinion which coral colors look best under PC lighting? I have some red/blue acans as well as a blue chalice but the blue doesn't really pop on any of them. The orange and red looks good though.

I'm looking to add some blue, purple and yellow colors to my tank and was wondering if there are any particular corals in these colors that will look good?

Im specifically looking at some purple death palys or red people eaters, will they look fine or will the lighting make them look brownish? I'm also looking at blue zoas, and yellow polyps. There is also blue or purple gorgonians, so I can do that if those will look better.

As a rule of thumb, true blue and purple will wash out and blend in under heavy blue lighting. You need whiter colors to contrast blue colors with the sand and rocks. It's just the nature of the beast. Blue light makes for blue rocks and blue sand. Blue corals just blend in too much. Whiter light will reflect more of the corals natural color in contrast with its surroundings. Regardless of what type of lights you use

"look" is such a personal taste..

and not all "power compacts" are created equal either and are available in different spectrums,etc...

No one can really answer your question with any certainty as there are many variables..

Unfortunately I have a JBJ aio with the hood so until my hood breaks I'd like to keep it for now. Although I did have leds on my 125 and I couldn't grow hardly anything. It was too complicated to dial them in to get the perfect amount of light, it was either too much or too little light or wrong spectrum.
