Are you running bio pellets and what are your phosphates at? I noticed that if I had my phosphates at zero my colors were pale. I now keep them around .02 and my colors are becoming richer. Or it's because I also started to dose elos amino acids and the Red Sea color program. One of those is working.
Only experts here that I know of is Mike and Wayne. Both have the quality all of us want and have not attained.
Sounds to me that all you need is to feed your fish and understand balances in feeding and nutrient export.
Obviously once you comprehend those basics and you want deeper coloration you will ultimately use additives to achieve "Mother Nature's Paint Brush."

It's not always about supplements, it's about lighting as well. In my old aquascape, I had my shades of the fall up high and in about 500 PAR and the colors were decent, but after my aquascape, I moved it to an area with about 200 PAR and it's the best colors I've ever seen from it. Same with a tort I have. I had it in high light and the colors were good but I thought it liked low light so I put it low in the tank and color went downhill.
