Is my ruby ball moon cactus dead?

I have a Ruby ball moon cactus, and it turned dark purple near the bottom of the ball that carried half way up and then is pink, but not that bright pink/ruby/red colour it was when I first got it, then yellow near the top, and if you look down from above, you see the yellow blend into green. Is it dead? When I got it, it started sprouting at the ball part, or what ever you call it, I've had it for almost a year and it stopped growing. It's like a little stump on the ball part of the cactus. I can't tell if it's drinking water because I'll either over water it with the water pooling up and the bottom of it's container-thingy-ma-bob it's in or it just falls right through the dirt to the bottom, but I can't tell which. Thanks for your help! I'm probably gonna get another cactus, but don't worry, I'll actually do enough research this time!

Cacti should NEVER stand in water. Cacti are succulents. Succulents have thick, fleshy leaves that store water. They cannot stand too much water. I grow Jade plants. I water them once a month during the winter. The way I tell they need water is to feel the leaves. If they are hard and thick they don't need water. If they are limp and soft, it is time to water.
It is the same with cactus. Succulents evolved in sandy areas, where the water runs out of the soil very quickly. Succulents developed extensive root systems to gather all the water they can when it comes because it will be gone very quickly. It then stores the water in the fleshy parts so it can survive until it rains again.
