When you feed them, they can turn greener, but will soon get red tint again (or pink - D. capensis Alba)

If it is a typical Narrow leaf Capensis, it will eventually be red with proper care, given the proper light/water/soil requirements have been met. Even the Alba or Albino will have a slightly pinkish hue to it around the trichome area given the proper treatment. Best of luck
