usually bettas get pale from stress.Did you do anything that might have stressed him out?

hmmm I would wait a while longer(like a few hours) and see if his color changes back.Carlisle(one of my bettas) gets pale when I catch him to change his water after a little while he is back to normal.The only reason I say wait is cause you said he is not as pale anymore.bettas also loose color when they are sick sometimes.

No problem but if he is still pale after a day something else is probably wrong.Pictures always help everyone one here.

My darker bettas (Rikku, Nina, and Jayde) get a bit pale when they go into their "sleep trance" at night. Also if I move their tanks they'll get their stripes. Colors change right back once they get settled!
