Default Dark green color when flushing brake system?

I've been doing a complete change of all fluids on my Z recently. I was flushing out the brake fluid and the color of the fluid coming out was dark GREEN. This car only has 13,000 miles on it and this is the original fluid, but I own a few different GM vehicles and never seen a greenish colored brake fluid. Fresh GM fluid is usually clear and turns dark brown/blackish when dirty. Anybody have an idea about this green color?

And just for reference, the old clutch (Dot 3) fluid was NOT dark green in color, rather brown, blackish

Mine was green too, flushed it after about 70k miles and 4 years. I freaked too, but it's "normal".

Oh, and "hi" to another NJ fbody guy!
