Try these settings... 

 

Royal Blue, Blue/Cyan, Violet - %85

White - 25%

 

Nine Hour schedule with a hour ramp time to midday. 

 

As well there are many variable besides the light. Your ALK, CAL,MAG and salinity are all in balance.

If as Dave said check yr levels, if are ok.   Might be low iodine?   I dose aquaforest iodide after an icp test , which read low iodine levels.

 

 I started dosing aquaforest iodide daily as instructions,  made a big difference, much deeper blues and Purple Stylo deep rich colour. Hope this helps.

Lugols is my go to for this. I actually dose this with each water change now too. It won't make a difference in this customers instance in my opinion.
