I have a neon green Sinularia that looked bright neon green when I bought it. The LFS had them under mostly blue light (Kessel). I have the CURRENT IC Loop light (the latest light they have put out). In white light it looks green to pale yellow and I would think it should be a brighter green.

I can manually adjust all 4 channels on the light (red, green, blue, white).

Currently have whites at 35%, red at 15%, green at 20% and blues at 90%.

Salt 1.025
Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 10-20 (and coming down)
Calc 450
Mag 1250
Phos 0
ph 8.4

Stats are great on the tank and very stable so I don't think that is hurting it. I'm just wondering if I can adjust my light to get more green out of it?

Overall the coral is SUPER healthy and is growing VERY fast.

I think it looks really good, but like you say, it's light dependent.
Mine looks way greener under the blues, this picture is color corrected.
