A big no-no for tiger barbs, get too big and agressive for your tank, you tank doesn't really have the space for extra species- you need to sort out your current stocking i.e sort out the gender ratios in your guppys as i mentioned to you just before, get your platy 2 female companions as they are sociable fish, and get some more seprae and rummynose tetras as tetras are schooling fish that need to be in groups of 5-6 although personally i would rehome the seprae tetras as they can be quite nippy.
If you rehome the seprae tetras, sort out the guppys and platys, you could have some endlers although as to your question, yes the females are quite dull in color, so if you want color go for a group of males.

Nope, you don't have the space for them, plus they are fragile fish that are difficult to look after and need a mature tank for at least 6months;

I would advise you get more than 2 once you have sorted out your current stocking as like most livebearers they are sociable fish and if they don't get along the more dominant one will pick on the lesser dominant one- if there is no middle fish in this of the same species then the harrassment will be never ending.
Endlers and guppys can hybridise, to prevent the gender ratios getting inbalanced i would rehome your single female guppy, your stocking would be much better if it looked more like this;

20gal tank;

5male guppys
5male endlers
6neon tetras
6rummynose tetras

or this...

20gal tank;

1male, 2-3 female guppys
2 male, 5 female endlers
6 neon tetras
6 rummynose tetras

Rehome the platy and the sepre tetras, either that or you could do;

5 male guppys
5 male endlers
1male 3 female platys
6 neon tetras

etc etc...
