yes, depending on if i wear lotion or sunblock that day or not, or if i'm getting more sun than normal, they will darken up. they also get dark in hot water (shower, bath, jacuzzi, etc). scar tissue just reacts different than living skin tissue

Yeah I have a particularly bad scar that changes colour randomly from time to time. Its purple when I'm cold, white when i'm normal temperature and pinky red when i'm hot.

Its to do with the blood supply to the scars. when your hot the veins come to the top of your skin to help keep you cool which makes the scars more visable an the reverse is true.
