If its already been blanched or boiled, the flesh will have at least a pink tinge to it, if not almost red. The longer it was boiled, the deeper the color. If it is still gray (various shades) it is still raw. Of course, I think once you got home and opened the package, the texture would clue you in whether it had been cooked yet.
Does albino (white) octopus turn red when cooked? I never thought about it till now.
