Unless I've missed a lot. Their flesh is grey because their bloodstreams are filled with nanoprobes - machines made of grey metal. Once Seven of Nine had the bulk of them drained from her system, her flesh turned a healthy pink.

That said, I'd forgotten about the maturation chambers. Generally I take the 'facts' of the later Trek episodes over the early ones - in TNG they seemed to be very much feeling it out, and things solidified later (later in TNG, and in Voyager). After all, the Ferengi were originally supposed to be dangerous villians. They became a laugh.
