So when I look at hops, they seem to come in two tones. Bright green and what looks to me like brown, but I’m color blind. I always wonder if the ones that “look” brown to me have been exposed to too much oxygen or are otherwise stale. But I also don’t trust my eyes. Attaching a picture. How does it look to everyone else?

Those look like any other hop pellets I’ve ever used. I too have noticed different shades ranging from bright green to a duller color of green bordering on brownish. I don’t know what causes it except possibly the pelleting process or maturity of the cones. Do they smell ok?
olive drab....
I've used pellets verging on "bright" green through 50/50 deep green/brown-ish.
If they smell ok they get used
Cheers!

They look good. As @bracconiere said its an olive drab color. If they smell great, they’ll likely taste great.
