A photo would really help.
In general breeding colors are the best color your fish will ever show.

Are the breeding tubes down? Then you know you will have eggs soon.

Morning Lads.
Generally, when females are ready to spawn, their stomaches turn a creamy white and they lose alot of their colour and turn very dark (most likely due to the stress of defending a territory)
watch for Lip locking, tail slapping, and shivering (she should be the first to start)
As for their colours being the best they'll show ;-) Its true for pretty much everything except severums lol. Most of them look very dark, and that little white patch is the best your going to get ;-)
Also, Turqoise severum - Green Severum - Gold severum - Red severum = all the same fish (as long as were not talking wild caughts, then theres plenty of debate) so interbreeding isn't really an issue. (Sort of like breeding mongrel dogs - No offence ment, but commercially bred severums are exactly that. A fish thats been bred from numerous species/sub speices over many generations)

My female severum turns black with a white stomach/chest when she spawns. She remains that way the entire time she's defending fry. You can see it pretty well in a video I made of the pair: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jEju-DCNdjo
