Nisquallia olympica females range in color from dark slate gray through lighter gray, mottled brown, olive and orange. Some of the color variation may be related to how recently they’ve molted, but grasshoppers in the group Nisquallia is a member of are known for color variation.
The Rehn paper introducing Nisquallia olympica as a new species includes two photos of a female. How to Know the Grasshoppers, Crickets, Cockroaches and Their Allies contains a figure, probably drawn from the photo in the Rehn paper.
