bright lights with a light coloured background ( sky blue for example) and light coloured gravel if a planted tank
the colour spectrum of the fluro tubes you use also effects colour. i try to use globes with high blue and red colour spectrums. works for me...but i am definately no expert on lighting

show off
I think the best way to bring out colour in discus is with their foods.
As far as lighting goes, just make sure you have no shadows i.e double reflector light.

Higher than normal amounts of spirulina is the key!
