Brake Bleeding Help

How-To:

As a result of this thread I bought a vauum bleeding system and used it on Thrusday. I had to replace the wheel cylinders on my windstar. Hopefully I saved myself a headache, because when I started to unscrew the brake line from the wheel cylinder, the metal line started to twist with the coupling, so rather than snap it off, I tightened it back up, and swapped the guts from the new wheel cylinder into the old one. My dad used to have a honeing tool for wheel cylinders (a tool that I don't have) but they were smoothe, and I doubt that they will leak.

Question:
Does DOT 4 brake fluid have a greenish tinge to it?
The fluid that came out was a mixture of dirty, and had a greenish tinge. My new fluid was more clear DOT 3.
