Brown skin tail band becomes green???

Ok this is really really weird. You know how the ig has brown bands on its tail? Well, it's shedding on the tail, and the brown bands shed, and it is now green!!?!
I'm not so much worried as it shouldn't play any part in its health, but just curious as to whether this is normal.
It now has a shedding tail that looks like it's gonna be light and dark green bands, instead of light green, brown etc.
So strange!

Perfectly normal. Ig body colors can change as they get older as well.
