Chris,
Just make sure that the squid meat is fresh, or fresh frozen. Ideally, if the squid is fresh, or hasn't been frozen long, the color will be limited to the skin, with the meat underneath still being white.
If it is no longer fresh, and / or has been frozen for a long time, the discoloration can extend into the meat. Along with the discoloration, there will also be a loss of freshness, resulting in a less than desirable squid meat.
I just recommend that you look around for the best quality squid that you can find. I've never had to buy any, so all I can recommend is looking at a seafood market, or an Asian market.
Good luck!
