There is some evidence that the egg color is meaningless. Others have reported that this can be caused by crossing with wild stock. I have observed other colors than yellow when I got an accidental contamination with browns. The eggs were green.

I think food is responsible for egg color. Happens to other shrimp and crayfish, too.
