Hello,
1) Normal stool color is yellowish brown.
2) Green brown stool suggest inadequate digestion of food.
3) This is not serious concern since there is no any associated pain episodes.
4) if green brown stool associated with stomach cramps or diarrhea or vomiting, then you need to visit GP to run some basic tests including stool examination to rule out intestine infection or food poisoning.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
