Million Bells/Calibrachoa different colors this year

Last year, I bought a hanging basket of million bells. They were a purple/maroon color. I did nothing for them over the winter, so the flowers died down. I left the stems intact, though...no clipping. However, they came back this year! The weird thing is, they are coming back red and yellow--not the purple/maroon color. I like the red and purple much better, so I am happy with that. :)

Why would they change colors, though? I have people telling me it is soil pH, but I didn't think that had an affect on other flowers as much as it does hydrangeas?
