Hello,
Looking for advice, my Colorado Sunburst Anemone has lost a bit of its color.

It was under heavy shade for past few weeks due to a large green nepthea spreading above it.

does it seem right that the lack of light would “mute” its color? It was super bright, and now is faded

I cut back the nepthea, so it should get better light now

finally I do feed it LRS every few days

I would tend to believe that heavy shade would be the reason. Maybe @FarmerTy could throw his 2 cents in....

I could see shading making it have more muted colors. Just make sure there are no other anemones in the tank with it. Muted colors can also be an early indicator of a sick anemone.
