Reply to comment by Hanginon in TIL that the color of an egg yolks is determined by the chickens diet by malte2505

While it's true that the diet effects the quality. The mistake people make is thinking that a darker yolk color means a better diet.

It’s the same with salmon, they can be made darker with food additives that do nothing to enhance flavor or overall nutrition. Good eggs have vibrant color, but not all vibrantly colored eggs are good.

I've noticed that wild caught salmon are a brilliant shade of red while farm-raised tend to be paler. I notice a difference in taste too (unless it's just my mind paying tricks on me).
