I use light tan sand under my Corys and white quartz pool filter sand under my piranha to bring out their patterns & colors, but I use the much darker paving sand from home depot for my other sand bottoms. I'm in the process of moving most of my tanks, so most still have brown gravel for the time being..

I have black sand in mine, just a personal preference. I sprinkled some lighter gravel throughout one tank and there are a few river rocks as well.
The corys and the plecs like it.
