It means that the particles are larger than if clear. For absolutes look at the chart I have posted here in the past and compare color for the actual sizes.

Thanks. But does the dark color mean anything? Is it an unusually high ppm? Has it been contaminated? What does the H202 do when added? Should that be food grade or drugstore grade?

Thanks.

    Let it sit for a few days and then add a few drops of H2O2.  It'll
    likely clear right up.  If it bothers you too much use it
    externally for stuff.

        Hi folks,

        No doubt this has been discussed somewhere before.   My most
        recent batch of EIS from my Silver Gen came out darker than
        anything I've seen to date.    Kind of a golden almost tan color.

        I thought I had done everything just like normal, but may have
        forgotten to rinse the jar with distilled water first.  Pretty
        sure I wiped down the silver strips.

        Is this safe?  Unsafe?  What should I do?
