I think this depends in part on the coral itself. There will be some corals that just don't react well to certain temperatures of light. That is, some may be perfectly fine basking in 10K light and won't lose any colour at all, while others may not like that colour temperature so much. And in some cases (probably most), it really isn't even a matter of the coral liking one colour temperature over another. Rather, it's their symbiotic nature with zooxantehllae. Zooxanthellae is what gives them both food and colour. Corals will capture, harbour and grow the zooxanthellae species that will give them the best results for nutrient/food exchange.
