What does it mean when a Platy's gravid spot goes from black to pink?

I have some pregnant female Platys that are due to deliver this Friday as July 9th marks the end of the 28-day gestation period. In the weeks leading up to today, my Platys have had a black gravid spot. But last Thursday, after a water change, when I moved them to a giant 3 gallon breeding box, I noticed that on some of the Platys, the spot turned pink! Some spots remained black and some have both black and pink. What does this mean? I'm afraid I did something that made them abort their fry.

What color are your platy's. Sometimes if they are a lighter color like pink or white they may be just be that the baby's are that color.

Oh I see! My Platys are gray-ish. Their gill plates are neon blue. But the gravid spot color change is nothing to worry about?
