Answer:
1. PINK
Consumers expect the colour of cured meats such as hams, corned beef or pastrami to be pink.
2. The more myoglobin there is in the cells, the redder, or darker, the meat. When dark meat is cooked, myoglobin's color changes depending on what the meat's interior temperature is. Rare beef is cooked to 140° F, and myoglobin's red color remains unchanged.
