Hands down, the red grew a lot more algae than the blue. I ditched the blue and replaced it with red
Yes red always wins. These tests have been done a few years ago.

The white side was darker green
The algae is getting less PAR on the white side, causing darker growth. You could probably get the same darker growth with reds of half the wattage.
