The colors can intensify and diminish based on mood, the fishes dominance in the tank, or if breeding. Also having other fishes that have similar blue coloration such as a nice acei, an ahli/fryeri etc can make the colors seem less intense.

I have nice acei and a nice blue hybrid in my tank

I have 2 primary blue males in my tank, a Red Top Lwanda and a Ruby Red. The ruby red was dominant and always made the Lwanda look kind of dull. Then I added a S. Fryeri whose blue completely mutes the Ruby Red except what he's trying to breed.

+ 1 my eureka red only looks the best when breeding and he is the dominant male, but there are other males
