Does food affect peacock bass colour?

I am wondering if food such as pellets are better than goldfish for my 6" kelb and orinocos. They are already pellet trained since 4" and have a huge appetite for the pellets.

Yes, pellets are far superior than livefood for a multitude of reasons, a quick search will yield you many of them.

But any time you feed non-quarantined goldfish you are taking the chance of introducing parasites and disease, and a low quality food source.
