@notsobusty - I am very white (casper the friendly ghost white) and when I pump mine are pretty dark red. I've only truly overpumped once (when I moved up to the XL domes and pumped like usual it was too much). Otherwise now I'm getting the occasional red spot here and there, but from what I've read, that's *pretty* normal unless there are many of them.
I think if you're just pumping enough to keep them on, that's not overpumping. However, if you're pumping to keep them on WHILE doing other things, that could be overpumping. In order to avoid putting too much pressure on too fast, I have to lay on my back while attaching the XLs and wait about ten minutes before I try and sit up. Then my breasts have adjusted and it's fine.
I'd say if you do this and don't feel pain, just a semi-firm pressure, you're ok. Just don't keep them on for more than 2 hours at a time.
