[Aquamandan]

Looking for some colorful plants to add to my aquarium, the only ones I can find are just a boring green. What do you guys recommend?

What size tank do you have? What type of lights? Strong lights bring out the color in certain plants

T8? I'm fairly new to the lighting game but I belief that's low light. If I'm correct I think the red tiger lotus is a low light plant. Wanting to get one myself actually

Red Tiger lotus and Crypts Wendtii Red and Bronze are about the only ones that will color under those lights.

Don't mean to thread jack, but this may help OP as well: what plants would color under higher light, say 2-3wpg?

Many many plants will color up under high light. Many of the Ludwigia's and Rotala's will just do alittle research on the different types. Otherwise Limnophila hippuroides, Cabomba Red or Furcata, and Alternanthera reineckii are other good choices.
