I'm not sure if you're describing gravid or receptive colours, do you have a pic?

When they become gravid they will often turn dark colors (brown, black.) Some will do this immediately after mating, some might not. One of mine took a week to get gravid colors after having a mating sleep over for a couple days.

each female I've had has been a bit different in gravid colouration, but all were darker when gravid or non-receptive than when receptive

[sandrachameleon]

the mistio looks non-receptive, possibly early gravid
(but might just be stressed out by being handled)
