More than likely what you held was WC (most in the hobby are). The majority of viper boas are plain brown, and the ones fresh from the wild look even more dull since they still have the "jungle skin" (they live on/in the ground and take a VERY long time to shed so what you see most of the time isn't what they actually look like so to speak). Her colors will hold true with age, they don't fade out like BPs do.
They can come in all sorts of colors. Varying shades of brown and beige, almost black, banana yellow, blood reds. And variations of dark dorsals with red/orange/yellow undersides amongst those colors.
