They can turn colors in the cage depending on what substrate you have the snake on. Also, if you don't catch it quickly, it can mold, especially in a damp cage. Moist urates with lots of fluid passed out will turn colors much quicker than dryer urates.

I wouldn't worry about it, just keep an eye on it. If I don't catch small urates in my general daily cage check, the more moist urates have turned green or teal by the time I swap substrate at the end of the week.
