yeah usually when they are dark they are stressed OR they are cold and are trying to attract heat to themselves. is he warm enough ? and does he have lots of plants to hide in ? is he in a high traffic area ? do you have a picture ? also some tokays are just darker than others (usually females I have found)

Or it can be the color of their tanks.. I have one male tokay I keep in a tank alone for other reasons, anyways his bedding is white so he stay light gray color... The others I have who stays in tank with dark color bedding stay a dark color or when they are on the glass they turn a light gray as well... so it could be 3 things stressed cold or the coloring of their home bedding..
