Brown egg layer laid a white egg?

[Tofu the chicken]

My speckled sussex who lays brown eggs laid a white egg today? At least I'm 90% sure it was her because she has a secret egg laying spot only she lays in and it's the size of her normal eggs and she's the only one that lays that size of egg, I don't think anything is
Wrong with it, I'm just curious for an explanation

In the picture it almost looks really light brown? Or is it actually white white?

The picture makes it look browner than it is, although it has just the faintest tint of brown here's a comparison with a white silkie egg, so it does have a brown tint still

The two most likely possibilities are: another hen saw her laying there and decided it was a good spot, or a blip in the laying system. I've had brown layers of several breeds lay a brown egg every day in their lives, before suddenly laying a white egg. Can't tell you why, there doesn't seem to be any connection between the "white" eggs. ( They always have a tan or pinkish tint.)

That's strange, definitely think it's the second thing

Glitch in the spray booth.

There are only white and blue shells.
Brown eggs have brown coating on white shells.
Green eggs have brown coating on blue shells.
The brown coating can be very light or very dark, and can vary day to day.
Then the bloom can add another aspect to the egg color.
Pink/purplish eggs are from the bloom on a brown egg.
