No, the color of the yolk does not indicate nutritional value. The poultry industry manipulates the yolk colour with feed supplements made specifically to please consumers. Pigmenting carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin, which, together with other oxygen-containing carotenoids, are known by the collective name of xanthophylls are adjusted within the feed to enhance color. Too pale and consumers believe they are not as nutritional, too dark and consumers feel something is wrong with the egg.
