is that your original tranny?, try warming up your engine/tranny maybe will loosen up all the slush and do it again until it comes out clean.

same thing happen to me, i did a 5speed conversion i did a tranny flush two weeks later it was black
so what someone told me is to warm up the engine/tranny to mix the slush with the oil...keep changing it til it comes out clean, shouldn't take more than 2-3 times.. while your at it, get a magnetic bolt... clean up all the shavings

You said clutch fluid. Everyone is answering tranny fluid. So which one is it? The brake fluid from the master to the slave cylinder or the actual oil inside the transmission?

It probably had gunk in it unless it was all brand new stuff. It should be pretty clean after only a week of use. But it will start to turn black after a while. Mostly because it burns and gets little pieces of rubber in it from the lines and cylinders. There is nothing you can do about it. But if you are worried then I would flush it a couple times so its all clean.

when you do a 5speed conversion you need to cut a little but where the shift linkage goes.... rubs on the cars frame.. a little... i guess i didn't trim it good enough.
