A healthy, varied diet. There is no one food that will do this. Variety is key.

Poor water quality and other stress-inducers can dull colors, as well as a poor diet.
"I will give you a talisman. Whenever you are in doubt, or when the self becomes too much with you, apply the following test. Recall the face of the poorest and the weakest man whom you may have seen, and ask yourself, if the step you contemplate is going to be of any use to him or her. Will she gain anything by it? Will it restore her to a control over her own life and destiny? In other words, will it lead to freedom for the hungry and spiritually starving millions? Then you will find your doubts and your self melt away."

Found among the papers of Mohatma Gandhi

Marine garlic and some vitamins will make them healtier. My gsp looked more colorful after i added garlix xtreme and selcon to his food. Lighting can have alot to do with it also. :)
