Color (assuming you are talking about purple,etc... coralline growth will come with time (and proper conditions) on any rock be it "good" or not..

Do you have any LFS in your area? Sometimes the stuff they have will work just fine. FWIW this is all I've ever used and I've got plenty of micro fauna, sponges, color etc. Also I didn't have to pay those ridiculous shipping costs either. Just something to think about. GL.
My dream is to one day start a tank with TBS rock. The LFS's in my area has pitiful looking live rock. It looks more like dead rock that's just been sitting in saltwater. I've gotten some cherry fiji LR in the past but it seems hard to find good live rock now a days. If you want LIVE rock, I'd go with TBS. if you want rock with just coralline, some feather dusters and sponge, most rock would do. In my latest build, I used mostly dry rock and just seeded it with a few pieces of "œlive rock" from my LFS. It's also been getting seeded with stuff off snail shells and coral. I ordered a maricultured colony that has some cool sponge and other life under it. I also have several different types of feather duster spreading through the tank. It certainly takes longer, but it works and is cheaper and better than what my LFS has.
Again though, if money was no object and I didn't mind having to get rid of some pest crabs and stuff, I'd use TBS all the way. The rock I've seen from them is just incredible.

from a customer shipped this week....:spin1:
Good Morning Debbie and Richard,
I would like to start by saying how pleased I am with my first shipment of the "Package". I received my packages and was extremely satisfied with how everything was packed, no leaks! The sand and live rock were teaming with life and colors. After a week of cycling where my ammonia never rised above 1 ppm and has been at .25 or zero for three days I believe I am ready for the second part of the Package.
Thanks,
DeWayne
