My skin graft changed appearance overnight. Is this normal? (photos)

Charlie673
I had Mohs surgery and a skin graft for a BCC on my nose 16 days ago. Until this morning my graft looked mottled purple. Today I woke up and found that half of it was pink and half was kind of brown. It is Christmas Eve and I can't contact my doctor until probably next week. I am hoping for some reassurance that everything is okay. And if it's not, is there anything I should do immediately. Thank you.
