Looks like hes turning gold! Though he could still turn orange but it looks like gold. He's doing pretty well for a fish that was defective. Born with one eye but he gets around pretty well

Is it a young koi? I just rehomed a bunch of 1 year olds yesterday and over half were the same coloring. Pretty sure they will be changing colors soon as I have no adults with that color.
What was there type? Showa?

I have a black koi with a gold belly. Because it is all solid black, it is technically known as a Karasu. Different black koi varieties sometimes have white-tipped fins.

I have one of those too. I just refer to it as the whale. That's what it reminds me of. Beautiful fish! :)
