Maybe from the underside but the colour of liverock exposed to light is the colour of the algae growing on it. This picture contains one or two pieces of base rock and two or three pieces of liverock all from different sources.



I think there is liverock in my display from 5 different sources and one or two pieces of base rock as well... at this point it really doesn't matter anymore. But I agree, it would have been nice to have been able to buy everything from a single source initially and sometimes the selection at stores gets cherry picked heavily. I just wouldn't concern myself with colour when selecting live rock.
