There's no image in your post but any shade or yellow / orange is normal. Can sometimes be green or greenish too but that is usually a sign baby isn't getting the fatty (hind) milk and is having more of the initial less fatty milk. Which isn't ‘bad’ but does mean that may feed more often and in my case, was sign of a tongue tie.

I can see the image now and yes, that's a greenish colour which is usually an indicator that they’re not getting the fatty milk and consuming more of the first letdown milk that is more watery and has less fat. Could be oversupply, or short feed. This might help https://llli.org/breastfeeding-info/foremilk-and-hindmilk/

Greenish poo can be an indicator of the foremilk / hindmilk thing, but can also be an allergy indicator. My eldest had CMPA and soya allergy which took months to diagnose, and his poo looked a lot like this, although often mucousy as well. Is your baby unsettled or refluxy at all?
