I have observed a similar thing, with my somewhat higher concentration CS starting out a rich amber and darkening over 24 hours or so to a deep honey or even burgundy color. It does change color rapidly as it cools to room temperature. But then it continues to change for a while longer. The stuff is still effective, though, so I don't know that anything is wrong with it. It is a good question and I do not have an answer for you, Paul. Be well, Mike D.
