I doubt Epsom Salt affects the flower color much, if at all, because as far as I understand, flower color especially anything with blue, magenta, red hues is either not affected by anything (usually the intense dark and solid colors) or it is affected by sugar production and allocation within the plant which is controlled by light level and temperature.
I could be wrong, but I'm still waiting to hear from others to learn about it.
To me, this seem like one of those many things that float around among orchid growers.
BTW, there is a phal lady in the local society here, and she adds Epsom salt in the late summer or fall. She "believes" that Epsom salt is what makes phals spike, which is obviously not true as most phals (she grows the common hobby hybrid type) spike in response to the lower temperature that comes with the season of late summer or fall.
I'm sure adding Epsom salt helps with plant growth/development of course.
