Default Overnight Colour Change in Beardie?

A couple of days ago my Beardie became very moody, went a very dark black colour and was hissing at me, very jumpy just really pissed off, ate like She was never going to eat again, but also slept a lot. Still eating and pooping, so decided to just keep an eye on her. This lasted 2 days, and it seems that overnight she has gone a totally different colour, from being very dark grey to almost white/orangey colour? Is this normal?

When I got her they told me she was half orange half sandy, and you could see the orange round her eyes and chops etc but has always been a darker coloured beardie.

Should I worry? Shes gone back to her normal friendly self now, happy to walk out the viv to my hand and potter about and let me stroke her. Eating a little more than normal, even all her salad is scoffed quickly.

Thanks as always

They generally go brighter colours when they're happy and darker colours when they're stressed - this can be due to hunger, the weather, being bullied by a cagemate, their body temperature, the UV source etc etc...
