I had a green anole for a long time and mine always turns brown. The answer would be no, it is not bad if a green anole is brown.
P.S: Green means active and alert and brown means relaxed OR cold.
Green is normal for a green anole.
An anole can turn green, gray, black, and brown.
When a brown anole turns green alongside a green anole, it is typically an indication of a physiological response to environmental factors such as temperature or stress. Brown anoles can change color to a lighter shade of brown or green, aiding in camouflage or thermoregulation. This color change is not permanent and may revert based on the lizard's conditions. Such interactions can also signify social behaviors, particularly in territorial displays or during mating rituals.
It will most likely be brown if it dies from stress. But it could be green too. There is no specific color for a dead anole.
If you have a green anole then here is the answer, Green means it is content and happy, And dark brown means Stressed or sad. If it is light brown for a while when you don't bother it, it usually means that your anole could be shedding. Like, at school we have anoles for a science unit and there is one that is shedding and up to the point that she shedded up to is green, the rest is light brown. I hope my Answer helped you! :)

Florida is home to several invasive species of anole, primarily the Brown Anole (Anolis sagrei) and the Cuban Green Anole (Anolis porcatus). The Brown Anole, in particular, has established a significant presence and is often found in various habitats throughout the state. These invasive anoles compete with native species, such as the Green Anole (Anolis carolinensis), potentially impacting local ecosystems. Other species may also be present but are less common.
Cuban green anole was created in 1840.
Warmer temperatures, green foliage and dominant behavior make a Green Anole turn green.
I am not sure o have never tried that !
My green anole's feces look brown at one end and some white. I got him of January '12 and ges pooped like that ever since.
The lizard you are describing sounds like a Carolina anole, also known as a green anole. These lizards are commonly found in parts of the southeastern United States and are known for their ability to change color from brown to bright green. They have a distinctive brown streak down their back.
