Of course they turn red. when the water boils, drop them in for 17-23 minutes depending on size, this includes if muli lobsters are done at the same time..

When the little white thing pops....put a chicken in the pot at the same time, when it turns white, and the lobster turns red your done!...about 7 minutes for a 1.5 lb in water.

A lobster is cooked when he starts spilling his drink and should be cut-off immediately.
Seriously, it turns red.

a lobster is completely red when it is cooked, because all the pigments are masked, except the red background color of a lobster

Turns bright red and the flesh is white, not grey-ish.
