It is likely that they are just stressed from the tumult of the cleaning and the slight shock of different water parameters. As soon as they become secure again, they should return to their normal coloration. When you fill the tank after a cleaning, try to use water that is a similar temperature and pH as your tank water. This will lessen the stress in the future.

I don't think you should worry too much about the change in coloration. It's normal for all fish to change colors depending on their mood and probably your fish are reacting to the new water and the activity connected to the change and they simply just need some time to adjust.

How long has it been since the water change. Sometimes they ''lose colour'' when they are scared.
