What Causes Brown Spot On The Hard And Soft Palates?

I m a 57 yr old female, 5 6 , 140 lbs. Have never had any health issues, and am seldom sick. I have a brown tint to my hard and soft palate and a yellow spot on the throat part behind my last bottom tooth. What could this be. The brown tint has been there for 3 yrs or more but I just noticed the yellow spot. Thank you
