According to the internet, there's 3 reasons your brake fluid could be green:

1) It was green when it went in
2) Copper somewhere in the system has contaminated it/corroded and given it a green color
3) Algae is growing in your brake system, turning it green.

If you don't believe the Algae thing, check this out!

In any case, the solution is a complete flush of the system.

I found this also -
green brake fluid...

In post #5 of the thread, there is a link saying it could be "Hydraulic Sytem Mineral Oil."

I personally don't know - just letting you know what I found.

Mine looked green too when i replaced my caliper last year. I did a complete flus and bleed. Everything seems to be good to go now
