coolant color

Just changed the thermostat in my 97' CSE. As the coolant was running out I noticed it had a dark tint to it, almost like it had been thouroghly mixed with oil? It was more a medium green instead of the flourescent i'm used to seeing. I know the head gasket was replaced about 25k miles ago, and it was done at SAAB dealership. I have no sign of oil in my coolant (same oil for last 2500 miles) or any other symptoms. I guess my question is, is the SAAB "factory" coolant a darker tint than "normal" coolant, or has someone put bar's stopleak in the system, and thats what I'm seeing? When looking in the expansion tank it just looks like "dark" colored coolant. Is there a way to test the coolant, say put some in a test tube and let it set? I assume the oil would settle at the top.
