Why are fire belly toads different colors?

I have a toad and I always see there are all green, dark brown and light brown toads. why is this. I have a light colored toad that has several green spots with its black ones of course. but why is this?
does it have to deal with there toxin too. I hear it does.

It’s quite simply recessive and dominant genes and how the pigment cells are arranged.
