Maybe the effect of different lights - LFS v yours; might consider moving it to a more shaded area and see if its color returns.
 
Yea, acans will morph under different lights/settings, ect. Its a pretty common thing for them to do
 
Mine did the exact same under Biocube 32 leds. Can’t seem to get color back regardless of placement. About to upgrade lights. Starting to believe the stock lights are garbage
 
Yep. I had this issue (acans morphing from awesome to bland) when I had Radion Gen 1's. I switched to Gen 3's and the color difference has been spectacular!
