You need to see a doctor fast...The color should NOT change...

OK...every1 else has given a bad response.
The oxygen binding pigment in the blood is called haemoglobin. Haemoglobin is the pigment which composes a large majority of Red Blood Cells, thus, the reason why blood is red.
Red Blood Cells(RBCs) are broken down in the liver every 40 days or so. The product of this decomposition is a pigment called billirubin, which gives bile (a fat emulsifyer) its green colour.
The billirubin undergoes various chemical reactions as food is digested and absorbed, eventually forming that brown, most familiar colour we associate with poo.
I hope i've been helpful. :-)

While this is normally true, an experience I recently had was kinda shocking.My school colors are black and red.Once a month the staff throws a party for all the teachers born during the month .
The cake icing was black and red of course,and I had a healthy slice.The next day,I left little alien babies at the pool.Neon green!
Apparently the black icing was created by using a bunch of green food coloring.
Fun Fun!

When preparing a meal it is a good rough guide to say "have as many colours on your plate as possible" in order to eat a healthy balanced diet.
Colour is an essential ingredient in one diet hence we should eat as many as possible. Each colour has various advantages such as green is good for your ears and blue helps your ovaries.
Brown is the least useful colour hence it is often passed harmlessly through the body

Theoretically a mixture of every known colour should make black but, since no pigment is pure, the mixture is invariably brown. You may notice variations in the colour of your stools as you vary the colour of the food you eat, but it will always be brown-ish. It is also worth remembering that crap is brown. That's the colour of crap. That's why your crap is brown.

The answer is simple really. In your small intestine there exists a miniscule gland called the brown gland. It secretes a brown dye that colours all the food you eat apart from sweetcorn, which it ignores.

Red blood cells when broken down are excreted the same way as the food you eat. This waste product is called billirubin and makes your waste brown in colour.

Ah, but it only comes out brown from one end - from the other it's always yellowy-orange!
Or the colour of the beverage you were drinking the night before!
And why is it that what goes in tastes and smells so good, but what comes out doesn't?!

I should think, if you were to mix all the primary colours in a painting pallet together you may find these result in a similar colour give or take a shade or two.

You are obviously eating healthily taking in lots of essential iron with an acceptable water intake. Add that to the air inside you (which we all have to an obvious point) and it just means that your excrement has gone rusty - a healthy colour!
