I have not kept pacman frogs but have a lot of experience with other types like treefrogs, toads, etc., and I can tell you that many kinds are master color change artists, that can change their patterns, colors, etc. based on their mood or to match their surroundings... so, as long as you are providing the proper conditions and the frog seems otherwise healthy, I wouldn’t worry about it, it’s a natural frog thing.

Make sure to give it a healthy diet (large crickets, nightcrawlers, etc.) but go easy on fatty foods like pinky mice which can cause obesity and other problems... make sure the substrate is moist but not too wet, cleaned occasionally, and I think, like most amphibians, it should have some access to a shallow bowl of clean water to soak in (make sure to keep this clean).
