Pomegranate wine colour?

The pictures of pomegranate wine I have seen on the internet seem like very dark red wine. The one I made however looked like a milkish pink. What can account for the difference? How can I control the colour, get rid of the milky look and darken the wine?

update Below is a pic of before and after fermentation. I think I can manage removing the milky aspect of the wine by using pectin enzyme. Running tests now. However there’s still a significant loss of color. I’d like a nice ruby red and not a twilight pink.

Did you consider the size difference of the container(s) the pictured?

Homebrew will appear lighter in a smaller container and darker if shown in a large container.

For example, a 3 gallon carboy and a 10 gallon carboy will look completely different even when they're filled with the same liquid.

To me it sounds like you either need more pomegranate or perhaps more of the colour has come out as part of the fining process.

What finings have you used? As some fining are harsher than others and are able to take some of the colour out of a wine.

Perhaps next time you might want to add some red grape concentrate or perhaps some beetroot juice (not from concentrate). Perhaps you already have but just a suggestion without seeing your recipe.

Main thing is does it taste nice?

When making beer, boiling the extract can give the beer a darker flavor. I'm not sure if that would help during mead-making but if there is any boiling involved you could give it a whirl.
