It sounds like the previous owner has put the logic board into a different housing and got a screen replacement from apple. That would explain the black home button and the black apple logo on boot.

Maybe apple aren’t allowed to change the colour setting. For a repairer to change this they would need to remove the NAND and reprogram it.

 The only way to get your phone back to its original condition would be to replace the housing back to rose gold and take it to apple for a screen replacement.
