As you're in hot and sunny Greece, could it have been dust from the soil caught in the florets, which changed the colour on cooking?

I dont think it was the soil as im not so lucky to have that nice red soil , mine is a bit sluggish grey but its improving each year with the ammount of manure we put on it , one day it will look better i hope.
