An old thread of mine, I think it was called exact effect of congo or something along those lines on here (Sorry I'm on my phone so I can't link it, I'll post the link when I get home or you can go through my past posts if you want) me and another user talked about the effects of Congo and after that I spoke with the breeder who produced my pastel butter congo and he gave me some info as well.

It was developed first by Vin Russo, and it basically acts as a clean up morph. He paired it mostly with pastel and it helps to keep pastels from the colors fading as much and keeps the patterns from muddying up as much.

The breeder who commented on my thread said that it effects each gene it's paired with differently, they worked with fire congo and it brightens up the colors a lot.

One common factor I've seen in all the congo animals I've seen is that they all have a lighter colored head.
