Likely normal: The color in this area varies based on such things as thickness of tissue, blood supply, presence of a maxillary torus ( benign bony bump) , and natural tissue tone and color. Check your lighting when looking at this and look at someone else's with the same lighting to compare -- they may be different, or nearly the same. If unsure, see your Dentist for a check-up. Good Luck.
