Change in eggshell colour - is it ok?

In the last 3 or 4 days, one of our eggs has been getting steadily paler. We're not sure exactly who lays it, but think we know. It has changed from a light brown, to being today a very pale cream, almost white. Is there any reason for this? Should I be concerned?

has the shell got thinner too?

 

I think it may have done on the first day it happened, though I can't be certain it was hers to be honest. This one doesn't seem thinner at all, though the narrower end isn't neat, it sort of thickened and has a swirly pattern in it.
