The brightness of the meat is dependent on the amount of myoglobin in the meat. Here is a great article from the USDA on the color of meat https://www.fsis.usda.gov/wps/portal/fsis/topics/food-safety-education/get-answers/food-safety-fact-sheets/meat-preparation/the-color-of-meat-and-poultry/the-color-of-meat-and-poultry/ct_index
