Ok, what is the color on my chiller, and is it harmful? It is greenish in color.

Oxidized copper. Dunk it in a bucket of star san for a few min it will go away

Yeah it is oxidation. I normally just try to rinse mine off in star san while brewing but ultimately I'm not too picky about how it looks when I dunk it in the wort.
