Check that the HDMI cable between the Sky Q box & your TV is firmly in place. If that doesn't resolve it, try a different HDMI port on your TV. After that, you could try a different HDMI cable.
it would also be a good idea to restart your Sky Q box by putting it in standby and then turning the power off at the mains, wait 30 seconds, then starting it up again.

Re: Sky picture gone dark and different colours but normal tv is fine
I had the same issue, but just with my Sky upstairs. I went and rebooted the main Sky box as cables all seemed to be fine.
This worked on TV box upstairs, when it all reset it was back to normal
