Why did my Sony PSP background color changed?

I bought a PSP from the USA and the background colour in the menu is pink. Suddenly a week later the background changed its colour to green!!! Is there a problem with the PSP or is this normal??? Basically does it go through different colours throughout is gaming life??

Dave's Answer:

It's OK it's quite normal.

A little bit freaky but the background color of the PSP changes by itself month by month, April was pink and May is dark green.

Here's what to expect next:

***contains spoilers***

May 2005: Dark Green
June 2005: Purple
July 2005: Aqua
August 2005: Sky Blue
September 2005: Violet
October 2005: Gold
November 2005: Light Brown
December 2005: Red

So if you want to change the color or get a preview of this feature, just change the date on your unit!

Thanks to Ed Ellis for his PSP help.

I recently learned that some of my emails have a dark "shiny" green background (or partial background) making the writing impossible to read. Realize this has nothing to do with any game,...but, any idea what happened in this pc?
Thanks.

I do have a lot to say, and questions of my own for that matter, but first I'd like to say thank you, Dave, for all your helpful information by buying you a cup of coffee!

I do have a comment, now that you mention it!
