Why is my new brake fluid the colour of pi$$

[Mach147]

So I'm getting ready to do my three year brake fluid change, and I opened a bottle of GM 19299570 Dot4 and poured it into my power brake bleeder.
WTF it's as yellow as piss. I pour a second bottle in...same thing. The fluid I siphoned was clear, as expected with only 10k on the clock.
Can anyone confirm the AC Delco fluid is not clear? I got these bottles over the winter from Rock Auto. The seals were all intact.

Any brake fluid I have ever changed is yellowish/amber out of the bottle. And you obviously need to drink more water.

I ended up buying two more bottles from the dealer, and found them to be the same yellow color. So I went ahead and changed the fluid. Disconnected the battery. Hooked up the power bleeder. Did RR,LR,RF,LF, both screws. I did not worry about the ABS system. Reconnected the battery, went for a spin and all is well.

Clear or light yellow ..... drinks alot of water

Dark yellow or amber .... drinks alot of beer

Dark brown or black .... indulges in too many hookers and smokes
