White’s change color all the time. If they are a dark gray-ish brown that usually means they are stressed out. Some white’s are blue. Their usual coloring ranges from dark brown to bright lime green. Sometimes they have little white spots as well. Some people say that humidity and heat affect their coloring, but my frog just stays green when he’s under his light or if he just ate. He stays brown while sleeping. If you want to try and keep the frog green, put lots of green in their tank. Plants, green background, etc. It’s not a garantee, but it’s worth a try.

I Think it just matters on the color of your stuff in the tank and what ur temps and humidity is at
Chumpy likes to be brown but became a dark greenish and brownish
Tsunami is green all the time during the day and at night more of a brown color

also if they feel like being brown or if they just wana be green so idk
at night i think they turn darker colors
they can be a bluish to but ive only seen it online........


This is Tsunami in a very nice green color.

Brown isn’t necessarily bad. I guess it just depends on their mood.

My White’s are generally brown. I use all live plants and a fake background, so it’s hard to get enough green in the tank. :|

They turn green when I hold them, though. :P

Dark grey-ish brown usually means that the frog is stressed out. This was the color of mine when he was being taken home. He was dark green before he was pulled out of the tank at PetSmart. You can’t tell the mood simply by looking at the colors. The color can mean anything from mood to camoflauge. My frog is mostly dark green, but when he is up in the daytime or I am holding him, he brightens up.

Ok I’ll jump in here too.

WTF can range in colour from chocolate brown to lime green. And anything in between. They can also be blue.
Most frogs have a "natural colour" that they spend most of their time. All of them have the ability to change colour to camoflage to their surroundings.

We have one that is naturally a reddy brown and one that is blue.
We changed everything in the tank now so it is 99% bright green colours and the brown one is now green most of the time. The blue one is blue all the time.

There are many factors that affect a frog’s colour, that I think mostly we don’t really understand.
But controlling the colours in their environment will have an affect on their colour and you can manipulate it slightly in that way.

Grey and black are not good colours for WTFs it indicates sickness usually.

Frogs use camoflauge so they will match their envoronment for the most part.... However they should never be black...

Black is very ill.... If they are with toxins or cold etc they turn black or over stressed... Not brown but black..

Just had to jump in here - mine pick up the colors of whatever they’re sleeping under/sitting on/etc. - regular chameleons! I love them when they’re green (I’m tempted to put up green on the sides of their tank to see if that makes them greener)!
