I'm fairly sure that the increased color/Trich frosting is a result of broader light spectrum. Red_Greenery also stated

To my (Admittedly very limited) understanding, broader spectrum of light=more like the sun=healthier plants. It's not all just about light intensity. I'm sure you'd also get favorable results adding in a MH with an HPS, as many have done. CFLs (Or even tube flourescents) seem to offer an affordable, energy efficient way to boost supplementary spectrum light.
