Not sure if it would be the same but after I gave birth to my daughter I was told the Bleeding would start off Red then eventually brown until it was yellow which meant it was almost done. They said not to worry unless it was green.
I feel like if it's anything you're nervous about, I would call the doctor. It is their job to answer your questions. And that is certainly not a stupid question. It is probably nothing, but I'm sure it would ease your mind.
