It’s so even and perfect that I think it’s probably just your standard issue sun stress rather than burn. Normally ‘bad’ discoloration comes with patchiness and very noticeable texture difference. I wanna bite it so bad.

I’m wondering if the color is chemically induced. If you look at the crevices there’s more of an orange drop like where something would have accumulated
In my very amateur opinion it looks incredibly healthy. The skin is firm and shapely with no blemishes and the areoles are bright fuzzy white

ive seen astros that are naturally colored like that, usually labelled as “purple skin” or “chocolate skin” so i think yours might be one(?) unless thats painted on or chemically induced (which wont keep the color and will go to green after awhile), otherwise i think that looks healthy and fine, just do a squeeze test at the base and maybe check the roots
