Looks female, and looks like she's on some very brightly colored gravel. Cichlids will change colors depending on the color of substrate and their surroundings.
Is she alone? What size tank? Is there anything she's doing that look like she's sick?

I heard jack dempseys grow slowly she's in a 30 gallon tank I read that should be fine for a while recently is she has been digging in the gravel and resting in the hole she makes but moving gravel is normal for cichlids so didn't think that was a problem

Yeah, she should be fine in a 30g for a while. They definitely are slow growers, and the females average 5-7", with the rare 8"+ monster.
As for her health, I'd think she's fine. It's probably just the bright gravel causing her to lighten up.
