Default What should 500 mile oil look like?

I followed someones advice on here for oil changes on a brand new motor (roller cam 302). They said to change the oil at 1/2 hour, then again at 500 miles. I changed the 500 mile oil last night and was surprised to see it decidedly black. Not completely opaque, kinda like coffee. Is this normal? I was glad to see no chunks or flakes of any kind.
