Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
Normally the stool color is yellow.
The color may slightly change with the change of formula.
Green color may indicate infection some times.
If the stools are semisolid and free from any bad odor the slight green color is not taken as abnormal
Nothing to worry.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
