Don't know about the gaskets changing color, but the paint on the flanges does (from yellow to red) upon contact with HF. Most gasket material will be a Monel spiral wound type or similar in these applications.

As mentioned above the detecting paint is usually applied to the outer ring to readily show when leakage has occurred.
