I use to have periods where they were more brown then red when I was in high school. My doctors told me not to worry about it, that it could have been blood that wasn't fully discharged from my last period and also she said there could have been an infection that my body was getting rid of. It went away after time and I haven't had it since.

That is normal.

Yeah, my periods are a mix of brown and red over the period of 3-4 days.

When I got on birth control the same thing started happening to me. I asked my doctor about it and she said that the pills weren't right for me, and that I wasn't getting enough estrogen and that was what that brown discoloration was from...Are you on birth control? But also my periods were irregular. The pill that was giving me problems was ortho-tricyclin lo.
