Yeah I think it is normal from condensation. Last time I checked mine, it was all water. Scared me for a second. Only thing that worries me is it going back in, but I guess the pressure would stop that from happening as long as the can doesn't fill up

It's condensation.
I have it in my endyn catch can as well.

It happens during temperature changes, when moisture sits in there. Should look grey, due to it mixing with the oil.

Nothing to worry about unless you see other signs of a headgasket failure.
