Oscars will change colors depending on their mood. If he's otherwise acting normal, I wouldn't worry too much.

He's probably just sulking. And I'm assuming you didn't feed him during that time (which is fine) so he's probably a little mad at you for that. He should come around.

My oscar was always pissy, even though he had a 75 gallon and I fed him whenever he asked for it... oscars are weird fish.
