Hi there! For the most part from the photos it looks like the fur is just changing color, which is ok. What I'd watch for is hair loss and thinning, lesions or pigment changes to the skin, and itchiness of rhe skin - scratching, licking, chewing. If these things occur there may be an infection in the skin, or mites, and Luna should be examined by a veterinarian right away. I hope you find this answer helpful! Best of luck!
