Will brighter light enhance pink syngonium?

Just got this beauty today! Her leaves are more of a dusty pink. Will brighter light get that pink looking more vibrant?

Mine gets very pink with lots of grow light! I have her under 8-10 hours πŸ‘€

This is how she looks like under bright light :)

Last two are in the plant room! Lighting definitely plays a role I believe!
I have wondered about that. I've never seen a truly pink syngonium except maybe in pics for sale.
@dreamlettuce wow! Yours is so pretty! I’ll try putting mine under a grow light as well and see what happens. :)
@dreamlettuce thanks for sharing this on the pink ones! πŸ‘
@nila I have 2 different pink syngonium and both get lots of indirect sun and stay more pink. I have noticed with my bronze toned Syn tho that it got much lighter after a while than it was in the greenhouse I got it at. I think because the light is stronger in my house than a greenhouse. So what started as a deep bronze/green leaf is now more burgundy colored πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ. I’m not crazy about the change but oh well. It probably was more immature and the leaves I have now are what it matured in to?
With my green Batik syngonium it definitely gets deeper green definition with longer light exposure.
@MariansOasis it’s interesting how each plant reacts so differently to light! Definitely going to add more light to mine.
Mine is more pinkish too indirect light about 8 hours. Very hearty have about 15 years or more
Mines is in a west facing window, and her pink is so vibrant.
