I just played with that tonight. I used Aether's before I put them away for the month. I played with 255 0 0, then tried 0,255, 0 and finally 0,0,255
Against the dark bark it was not terribly impressive. It's not bad, but you don't get saturation like you do on the house for sure!
I will probably still buy a couple aethers on the next co-op to do it anyways. I could not find a nice yellow or orange either, they all shift towards white on the bark.
