The color of: menstrual blood is not usually clinically significant. This is usually old blood being cleaned from the uterus.

Old menstrual: blood probably coming out first and it is normal if it is the case. If you had unprotected sex prior of 2 months and did not take a pregnancy test also take a pregnancy test.
