Not all species of salmon have that nice pick orange colour in the meat that Atlantic Salmon have. You should check the species? While farmed Atlantic salmon can have a grey meat, many farmers give the salmon a diet of shrimp and krill which is suppose to offset the colour. The salmons diet is also important in obtain the market colour.

As a side I don't agree with farming Salmon, other fish like trout that do not require long journeys I am OK with.
