Hmm - it's been a couple of months since I picked one and I can't say for
certain, but I seem to recall them changing from that very pale lime green
colour, to a richer ruddy colour in patches.  Then when I'd pick one, it
would quickly change to a consistent dull orange colour (not like the bright
golden orange of habs) over a day or so indoors in my chilli basket.

Sorry I can't be more helpful...
