foods can play a factor in coloring. light is a factor as well, for intense color, guppy breeders like to keep guppies in out side pond, so they can get max sunlight.

age is also a factor in determining the coloration of a
goldfish.

though becoming pale seems like illness might be at play, or
something isn't quite right in your tank, But I may be wrong
in this.

HTH,
