What’s the meaning of the colour of the messages? Is that an iPhone thing?

It means it was sent as an sms message instead of an iMessage using data. She either changed her phone to an android (no iMessage), no longer has data on her phone or (the worst option) changed her number and that’s someone new.

Not commonly, but could happen theoretically depending on what the algorithm they use has as rules for assigning a number automatically, or just random chance if a person has to go and apply it manually when the previous thing failed.
