Hi
Welcome
It is rarely anything serious.
It might be due to eating dark food like chocolate. It can also result from inhalation of dust and dirt. Even passive smoking can present with it.
Presently I would suggest you to observe, if it continues I would suggest you to see physician.

Hope this helps
Take care
