If you’re referring to the dark ring along the middle of each leaf, this is perfectly normal and a typical trait of zonal geraniums. If you didn’t notice them before it’s probably now responding to the heat and high light that it needs.

Make sure you ease it into full sun and not just put it there straight from inside. Maybe part outside sun for a week but the coloring is from the sun.
