certain wavelengths of light help with certain areas of growth. blue wavelengths supposedly help the roots, green wavelengths support photosynthesis and overall growth, while yellow-red wavelengths support germination, flowering, and fruiting. that said, pretty much all wavelengths of light are helpful for your plants. the yellow might be best if you’re focusing on leaf growth, as the spectrum is likely weighted towards blue/green vs the pink ones which lean more red
