Try your painted turtle on some shrimp and others foods that naturally contain beta carotids. These elements have been found to be necessary for tropical fish to maintain their red and orange colors and I bet they work on turtles too. In fact there are some other diet factors that are responsible for bright colors in tropical fish that I am sure would help turtles achieve their color potential as well.
