Anything from a light ting of green to brown.  The darker the more severe the infection.  Good luck with that and drink lots of water!

Bloody Nipple discharge specially in post menopausal women is a matter of great concern as it is a possible symptom of breast cancer. See your doctor so a smear of that discharge can be done with a breast exam. In pregnant or nursing women bloody or purulent (pus) discharge usually associated with fever can be a sign of an infection of the breast which would also need medical attention

Sometimes I get that when I have been working where the air is especially dirty, I blow my nose and the sputum is all black from the crap I have been breathing in. However, if this is a persistent cough, or you have other symptoms you should see your doc. It could be blood, but bloody sputum does not always mean bad news, it could be traces of blood because your nasal passages are/were dry. You didnt speculate further, on your health condition or other symptoms so I cant elaborate....If you start hacking up bright red blood or clots, then go see your doc, other wise dont worry too much.....

any colored phlegm means possible infection, I would go to your physician. I would not let it go for very long it could lead to pneumonia

White.\n\nOther colours might lead people thinking it's poison gas.\n\nBut farting is a kind of poison gas too,just with a better color.

A definitive diagnosis requires demonstration or isolation of the organisms responsible for the infection. Direct Gram stain may be helpful because of the frequently unique morphology of Gram-negative anaerobic bacilli. In general, these organisms are pale staining and they may stain erratically. Fusobacterium cells may exhibit classic tapered ends and filamentous forms, with or without swollen areas and large round bodies. Direct gas-liquid chromatography of clinical specimens occasionally provides important clues to the presence of certain Gram-negative anaerobic bacilli. A large amount of butyric acid in the absence of isobutyric or isovaleric acid indicates the presence of Fusobacterium. The presence of succinic acid and only Gram-negative rods seen on Gram stain, or of both succinic and isobutyric acid in the specimen, indicates that Bacteroides is present. Both direct and indirect fluorescent antibody techniques may be useful for rapid detection of Bacteroides, Prevotella, and Fusobacterium in clinical material.

It is Gram positive (stains purple after a Gram stain), has endospores (can tell from a simple stain or from a Schaffer-Fulton endospore stain), and is rod-shaped.

if you cough up any congestion and it has color too it (especially darker green or yellow) you may have a bacteria infection.  you can try decongestants like phenylephrine or pseudoephedrine.  you could just have congestion and sinus problems, but if you cough up colored stuff you likely have an infection.
