in general sometimes if the light is increased, leaves can become bright green in color. However, if it happened suddenly in the same conditions as the older leaves, then I might guess that there is some sort of nutrient deficiency. I would suggest feeding some of the older pitchers with a variety of bugs such as flies, wax worms, crickets, blood worms etc. Then just wait for the next leaf and act accordingly.

Hmm...I don't think it's dying of age anymore. It's developing a pitcher, still. When did you get it and was that leaf already there? Either way, the nep should be okay.
It almost seems a bit dehydrated. What kind of humidity is it growing in? Low humidity is OK, but no humidity would probably be a bit much, especially if it is a drastic fluctuation from its previous climate. Did you forget to water it one day?
I keep the soil moist (so when you squish it it feels wet) and the humidity is around 50-60, sometimes in the 70s. Oh yeah and that leaf was there when I got it, it only opened one new leaf and another leaf is almost all the way open.
The soil can be moist, but if the conditions are extremely arid then a plant can still lose moisture if its leaves aren't adapted to the conditions (hardened off).
