They will start to go from a vibrant green to green brown to often completely brown over their lives.

Usually they do. Sometimes, very rarely, a turtle will have a green shell for it's entire life.

The adult turtle my class keeps still has her green baby shell colour.
2 Chinese Goldenthread turtles ~ Miso&Mafan
1 Chinese Box turtle ~ Chief Lemon
2 Redfoot Tortoises ~ Sheegua & Muugua
1 Toy Poodle ~ Pudding
3 firebellied newts ~ Cassandra, Mr.Poo, and Wiggles.
