So one day its color is black and some other day it turn greyish.. is that something I need to worry about?:nilly:

Your input is greatly appreciated.
 
no oscars change their colors all the time.
 
Color fading can be a stress indicator - oscar's are moody as it is. If he stops eating and washes out then it's stuff to worry about, things like that - but if he's just changing colors and still acts normally it's not a big deal.
 
Usually when your Oscar is really mad, scared, stressed or in a fight mood
they show it by colour fading. Mine changes all the time in my SA CA community.
I've seen my Oscar go completely pail from fighting her reflection, especially her fins.
Usually when I feed her though, she gets nice and dark and I just wanna sit there
and watch her eat.
 
same here. the only one that doesn't turn color is my albino ones.
