Every straw of semen when I thaw it gas been the same color.  That greenish tent to it. I pulled out some no worries the other day And it was white when frozen and thawed. Does that mean anything.

You can see many different colors of semen when put in straws. I don't really know why, maybe someone else could tell you what the reasons are.

It's the type of diluent studs use to freeze the semen in.  Yellowish is typically egg yolk based, many studs use it.  White is milk based, genex and many others use it.  Milk pocket thaws a bit better if I remember right other than that they are similar in effectiveness.
