Is there a reason my most successful coral colonies are the same color?

Hi all.

I've had my tank for about a year and a half. During that time corals have come and gone, and some have been much more successful than others.

There is a very obvious pattern though, and I'm wondering if there's a reason, or if it's just a coincidence. Every single one of my successful sps corals are purple. I have a couple purple montis, and a couple purple stylophora.

I have tried growing other montipora that are green for example and they don't do nearly as well. I have also tried growing acros of other colors but I won't count those since I haven't really grown any successfully.

It's a little frustrating, because I feel like my reef is kind of monotone right now.

I am wondering, could there be a reason for this? Like does my lighting feed these coral colors more effectively or something?
