PP is funny! Actually you're fine.
The darkening may be caused by moisture from a food being covered. It is the result of a buildup of aluminum oxide, a totally harmless substance.
Occasionally, foil comes in contact with a different metal or a highly salted or acidic food and, as a result, pinholes develop in the foil. This reaction does not affect the safety of the food.

I've never had this happen before. Baked an item, left it on the stovetop to cool for an hour with a piece of foil on top, before putting in fridge. The item was in a pyrex dish, not a metal pan. The item didn't have anything acidic in it--it was egg based with a few veggies. When I removed the foil it was all darkened/discolored. I am concerned, I have never seen this happen before in all my years of cooking. Is the food still safe to eat?
