Mine started doing that after I put him on dark sand. After I switched to white sand he still stayed dark. He eats a big varied diet, is active and healthy. I know he's not sick or 'not well conditioned'. Mine has lots of pearls just like like yours so I wonder if that's got something to do with it.....?

lol i think so too lol.but is this the right collor for a flowerhorn or atleast normal? lol

to me it looks fine, I've seen one of my fh go pale white like it was bolemic then back to red in a week
 
Check your water parameters. If not that, maybe he's getting stressed from seeing other fh next/around him.(mirror method apply here as well)
