Default What should oil look like after first 500 miles of break in?

My motor has roughly 500 miles on the motor and wondering what should the oil look like when I do the oil change? I assume with the ring, cylinder wall and bearing break in wear the oil isn't going to be exactly clean. What should I expect?

Depends on if that first 500 miles is at Wide Open Throttle

Most of the time, its typically still original color, with possibly some slight metallic in it, at only 500 miles.
