Sounds like a good question for the dealer. Mixing coolants should not cause the brown color you discribe. Normally if you flush the radiator correctly, most of the sediment and residue should be flushed out. If your new anti-freeze has a light brown color, then there may have still been a little residue in the system. If the anti-freeze is a darker brown, I would question if the system had been flushed or simply drained and refilled.
