Depends: Fecal stool color has alot to do with what you ate. Over St. Patty's day a lot of green BMs from Green milkshakes, green beer, candy etc. No worries Brown stools come normally in different shapes of mocha.

Stool : Lightness is of no consequence and depends on your output of bile from your liver. Good Luck
