I just notice that my github contribution history color of github profile is changed from green.

Does this normal? Does github change it? or is it my fault?

The change of colour is a Halloween thing, I think. Yes, this is normal.

Yes, this is normal. GitHub uses a dynamic color palette for the contribution graph based on your activity. The day with the most contributions gets the darkest shade, and other days are lighter.

Because it shows data for the past 365 days, when older high-activity days drop off the palette resets and the colors can appear different. As long as your contributions are still showing, the change in color is only visual and nothing is wrong!

Thanks for your kind reply @ronitmartin

But what I mean is not color palette.

I know githu contribution graph based on my activity..

What I say is that the contribution color is changed from green to orange.

In the past, it was just green with different opacity based on my activity, but now, the color is changed from green to orange.

I wannt know this is normal.

So you mean, after Halloween, it can be changed to green again, right?

I am a muslim, for me I would not want the message to appear as it gives my profile image of the beliefs I am not associated to.

How can I get this toggled off, or how can I notify github?

Yes .

there are a few possible reasons why your GitHub contribution graph color (the “heatmap” of squares) might look different,
