Does this look possibly correct?

I replaced my radiator (new AZ011) for the first time and attempted to flush the system per Tim & Sean's video.

I hadn't thought to do this when I hired someone to help me with the TB/TS/WP/VCG a couple weeks ago. We refilled with Prestone at the time so there was at least a recent drain/fill.

No way to get an accurate temp reading on my '96 5VZ-FE so I ran it 10-15 minutes between flushes, working the throttle to get it up to temp. Front and rear temp controls were set to hot. Funnel level didn't drop much but bubbles stopped and I could see a color change in what was in the funnel.

Each cycle took me an hour and twenty minutes. Had I known that I would've started before 5:30pm.

I bought her in '12 with 202k miles and have put on 45k since. I have no idea when the PO had the radiator changed or flushed.

Anyway, I'm wondering if these colors look correct or if I was impatient and didn't get a proper flush. I was expecting to see much darker.
