Why is my aloe vera plant turning orange?

I tried to look this up on my own and came up with a lot of conflicting answers. I have the aloe in a pot, currently outside in a spot that gets direct sunlight from sunrise to about 12–1 p.m. From what I’ve read, aloes like sunlight, so I don’t think that’s the problem.

The leaf spikes are turning orange and the plant doesn’t look like it’s doing too well. I’m confused because I’ve had it for a year and I thought I’d gotten down what it likes in terms of water and sun. I could possibly be over-watering, but I generally only water my plants once the soil is dry. Does anyone who has knowledge of aloes know what the turning orange means and how to rectify it?
