Is Guava's plastron coloration normal?

I read somewhere that in one turtle illness the plastron could look a bit orange, so I'm a little worried. Guava (the turt) eats well, poops well, swims well and basks regularly. He's a little shy with me but definitely not inactive.

Also I don't know if it's illusion or not...but his whole color tone (carapace and skin) seems to get lighter, whereas my other turt seems to get darker. Is it normal for turts to experience subtle color changes?

Thanks in advance for your input!
