CD-R question.

[Guest]

I've been searching google and I can't find the answer to this. What does it mean when my CD-R's turn kinda orangish or brownish on the top side? I notice this effect on some old CD-R's I've burned and then I was looking through my storage of unopened cd-r's and noticed two 100 cd-r sets that were bought at the same time and they were the same brand. One had that orange-brownish color to the top cd-r already and the other one still looked silver! I also notice that some of my burned cd-r's are also still silver in color even after a long time. Why does it do this? is it bad for the cd-r? should I go to the store and request an exchange if possible since I haven't open the pack yet? (I dunno if it's possible since it was bought maybe 3 months ago)
