I had to custom order the pink humbuckers I wanted for this RG, and I picked them up today. However, the color looks very washed out and faded. I got home and compared them to the DiMarzio single coil cover and the match is not even close.

Do they all look this way, or did I just get a bum set?

The color in pink Dimarzios definitely fades over time. There's also a difference in the plastic used in the single coil covers vs. the humbuckers. Getting them to match can be difficult. The best way to get a perfect match is to get plastic pickup covers for your humbuckers then get them and your single coil cover painted and clear coated.

Dimarzio service is by far one of the best in the industry. I'll never forget what they did for me.

I got one of the very first UV777MCs that came out. I played it for a month or so and didn't like the stock Blaze bridge pickup. I called them (I forgot who I spoke with since it was so long ago) and told them that I wasn't too fond of the bridge pickup. It sound kind of thin to me. They told me they would be offering other 7 string pickups in the future but right now, they didn't have anything. A week later, I received a package from Dimarzio. Inside the box was a new 7 string pickup (in green of course to match the original) free of charge. I was floored and have been a loyal customer ever since.

I should mention that I worked for a big chain at the time and had spoken with them before about various pickup issues. I did a lot of special orders from them for customers. I took care of them and they took care of me when I neede them.
