They are not pink when you remove the domes... that's for sure but they pinken up in a few minutes.... over pumping for me results in pain and blistering......

Sounds awful I hope you haven't had many bad experiences like that. Mine go a kind of dark purple (rather like the colour of a bruise) in the domes. I don't know if it's OK or not. They feel very tight and mildly painful. I don't understand how people say they can do tasks while wearing the domes. I find it hard to move my arms much while wearing them, and if I try to move too much or bend down I loose the suction straight away. I'm still confused about correct procedure being so new to it!
