Why does the color of the reactant change depending on the temperature during radical polymerization? Although it was set to the same temperature, it is expected that there would be a slight temperature difference. The color of the reactant at higher temperature appeared darker.

Dear Bae Inhui ! A color change is a sign of a chemical reaction. There are more chromophore groups. Probably, when the temperature rises, a reaction occurs that is not related to the polymer synthesis process. For example, such a reaction can be oxidation. You should do the process in cleaner conditions so that after synthesis you can figure out what you have synthesized and that the experiment is reproducible.
