Yes it is absolutely normal for your tooth to discolor after Rct. Placing a crown on the tooth is the advised treatment for esthetics as well as strength if the tooth structure is also compromised.
Next Steps
Once your RCT is over, go for a crown.

Hi. Only minor change will occur. If major it may be due to improper rct. Consult an endodontist.

It’s ok for the filling to turn yellow or the tooth may discolour. So to maintain the colour esthetic. Of the teeth go for a crown which is tooth coloured. Visit the dentist and get it done
