Do the dots in blue dot discolor or change over time ?

Reloading this morning, I finished up one can of blue dot (from 2000) and opened a fresh can, older than the first. It's an earlier label style, so maybe 10 years old. The powder in the newly opened can had dark green flakes..... The can is clearly labeld "blue dot" and I opened the factory seal.

So, do these things age and discolor?

Rest assured I wont shoot it (unless I confirm it is really OK) - green dot is about twice as fast as blue.... My only bummer is the 300 cases sitting on the bench, and no new powder available for 50 miles.

I'll probably call alliant tomorrow and ask them-

Thoughts, oh wise ones ? Anyone ever see this stuff discolor?
