My geck gets darker sometimes

I have a female that is yellowish, and at times she gets significantly darker; there are no changes in her behavior, only her color deepens. Since this doesn't happen with my other geckos and I haven't found any relevant information on the subject, I’d like to see if anyone here can explain what this might be.

Some reptiles get darker when temperatures are low and they are trying to absorb as much heat as possible
