Im a newbie but have 5 RETF that turn a sweet color of lavender purple to deep purple at night that are completely healthy and normal....they return a bright green with light....I think its a blending mechanism.....

If the red eyed tree frog is awake during the day is that normal sometimes?

Speaking from my own experience they normally "sleep" through the entire day until it gets dark enough for them to securely move around. However, it could happen sometimes that they "wake up" during the day, often because if being disturbed (could happen while cleaning, misting, redecorating etc.). It also happens on rare occasion when they're still very new to a terrarium, and still adjusting to their new home.
If it's just one day, I would not worry about it too much. If it continues, it might be an indicator of something being wrong with the frog. Just remember to keep him unstressed and disturb him as little as possible.
