Many people have wondered why MC's armor turned yellow (olive, light green, w/e), some think it's camoflauge, some think it's from battle scaring, I mostly agree with the later but here's what I have to add:
Based on what FOR says, the green color on Spartan's armors are coatings to deflect energy weapons.
But strangely, MC's armor is completely and 100% yellowed out, that means he was hit with plasma(or other energy means) in his helmet, arms, body, crouch, back, legs, and all the creases between the armor consistantly . However, his is hard to imagine because you would expect some inconsitancy maybe on his leg or back.
So this lead me to conjecture that MC was hit/showered by a big plasma beam ; either from a cruiser or scarab (or something else), maybe he had a life/death experience from this? Maybe not, but this is what I think.

edit: Could be any sort of energy, not just weaponry, based on what SLAYABOY117 said, the color change could have been caused by the forunnership's engine. (MC was inside the engine compartment at the end of H2. )

Not dust, sunlight or reflection from desert.

Shishka: you fail at naming color
The fact that the color changed does matter
What shade of color? not important.

Here are some explaination on the cause of the "consitant green decay"
- Reklaw Raed- Atmosphere re-entry
- SLAYBOY117- Forerunnerships thrusters
