browning is normal in meat. it's the oxidized form of myoglobin, the muscle version of hemoglobin. i think that form is specifically called metmyoglobin, but don't quote me on it.
it's fine to eat as long as it is less than a week old, it hasn't developed a slime, it doesn't smell rancid, and it has not been left unrefrigerated for more than an hour. continually taking it from frozen to warm is a big no-no, too.

Its fine the color is from the air. Your nose is really your best guide when it comes to meat if it smells at all funny get rid of it. I have left hamburger in the fridge for 3 days and as long as its been closed and the fridge works its fine

If you just bought it last night it should be ok. It browned because air has gotten to it. When meat goes bad it doesn't always smell raw. When you start to cook it, and then you get a bad smell, don't eat it. It should be good.

It came that way? The store shouldn't have sold it. If you just bought it, yesterday, it should be fine in the fridge, but I advise you to cook and eat it, soon. Maybe tonight or tomorrow. If you have any problems, after eating it, tell the store. It'll be their fault, for for selling it.

Its fine, its brown because all of the blood drained out sitting in the fridge and defrosting.

Just wash it and nuke it lightly. Expiration date is a consideration. Too, cooked food always holds out better than uncooked. Even if in the fridge or out, covered.

Yeah, if it's only been one night it's okay. It's brown inside because it's dried out. It's up to you, but you won't get sick.
