If it is full, it is full. The level that you have been seeing may be a stain from the past level of old conaminated fluid. New brake fluid is typically water clear, but some suppliers add coloring.
If the pads are replaced the fluid had been topped up prior to that, the level will rise as the caliper pistons are pushed in. In many cases the fluid may overflow the reservoir.
I draw off all of the fluid from the reservoirs every year and renew. Brake bleeds should be done every few years.
