Default dark clutch fluid

last year I put in a new clutch, slave cylinder, flex line and OEM master cylinder. Bench bled the unit with it in the car then I use my vacuum bleeder to clear the whole line and re-filled with fresh Motul RBF600. I put about 10,000Km (6,000 miles) on it since. No air in there, pedal feel is great and all good. I just checked my fluid and it's already dark. Could it be the rubber hose between the reservoir and master cylinder? I had cleaned that puppy pretty good even running clean cloth trough it before reinstall. I used thee vacula, emptied out the reservoir , wiped the interior down, re-filled (repeated the process) lets see what happens.
