Thats one reason why some "better" LED fixtures use a "lime" LED now too..
Its really about color rendition and increasing the CRI..

And quite frankly its also just your personal preference... You like what may seem like a more natural look to your tank as its not just all one "bluish" tank..
One can argue that in the ocean depths most colors but blue are so reduced that anything but blue is "natural"..
But yes.. before people had red leds in their fixtures we were complaining that red fish looked washed out.. Now chuck in a red LED and the red pops again..
As stated objects are the color they are because they are reflecting that spectrum..
