many peopel start with gumpaste much lighter than the end flower, like pink paste for a red rose. then build up the colour with petal dust. shouldnt be any colour changes that way. not sure why your paste is darkening so much in the first place tho!

Yes, red gumpaste will do that. Also my Americolor super red does the same thing with my gumpaste roses. (Doesn't do it with fondant) The roses end up looking like dried blood. Found out you can fix it by brushing on poppy red petal dust then hold them over some steam. Beautifully red ever after!! 
Black gumpaste roses look better also when done with the black petal dust and steam. (Of course start out with black gumpaste).
