Did the lights just turn on or off?
Plenty of environmental variables that could play a part in the color change by various fish!

May be stressed or scarred...or may be a combination of these as well as those listed in your other post!
Is it still eating? Is it swimming sporadically or letharically and have labored breathing?

Yup a lot of fish change drastically depending on mood. Or when they go to sleep they can change their colour to help camouflage themselves

Chromis' do that. they make themselves camouflaged, for when the lights are off and when they get freaked out.

You often see color changes when you first get them during acclimation or they get stressed. Foxface can go from vibrant yellow to near mud brown. It is wild when you first see it.
