Is it in a very sunny spot? Or a spot that gets a lot of afternoon sun?  
My aloe discolored similarly when it was getting too much light/too much afternoon light.  
Once I pulled it back from the window it stopped discoloring and eventually faded back to green.

Looks like sunburn, mine did the same! Had to move her somewhere more sheltered and she's doing a lot better 😊 throws me off, always think aloe want full sun ! Bright indirect light is where mine is now, she's a lot better 💚
