The one in the second slide is probably just the flash of the camera, but why is the other one so light, all of them from that pond are.

Diet and quality of water you catch them out of.

Great interesting underrated post! The coloration is genetic and environmentally influenced. The carp are like koi (and taxonomically they’re both the same).
You see that some common carp are caught with a yellow underbelly and more yellow based skin than the brownish wild-type you seen in carp you saw. This yellow is the xanthophore, taking over more concentration and pushing away the melanophores(black pigment) and erythrophores(red pigment) The yellow can be intensified with minerals from the water and astaxanthin from the plants and animals they eat.
Carp coloration at the smallest of scales aren’t noticeable to fishers, and I’m also a fisherman. However, I notice small differences between objects, so I am as highly observant of that as I am with fish shapes and colorations, so I don’t miss anything I documented from carp with tall bodies and chonky bulk, to those with sleeker torpedo shapes cruising across the muddy lakes.

Mostly to do with genetics and their environment. Carp come in a wide variety of colors and scale patterns. And they can cross breed between the common carp, mirror carp, koi carp and so on. So the combinations can be wild sometimes
