On the outside or on the inside? If its on the inside thats fine, as long as they arent pale. Pale means poor water quality they are kept in , or the fish is not in good condition. A pale pink means the fish is anemic, aka dont buy it! Not sure about if its red/pink on the outside.. I think kois are like that.
