I need to compare 2 solvents and their ability to separate bands on a TLC plate?

One solvent is 70% Ether and 30% Acetone. Solvent number 2 is 70% Ether and 30% Chloroform. These 2 solvents were used on spinach extract to develop a TLC plate. Regarding these 2 solvents, how do the changes in the solvent polarity affect the behavior of pigments whose structures include polar or potentially ionized functional groups?
