Default 3M Weatherstrip adhesive..green?

I put a new piece of weatherstrip on my targa top today and after getting it all cleaned up, I was to put a bead of weatherstrip adhesive on both ends per instructions.

The tube says 3M Weaherstrip adhesive black.

But when it goes on, it's green?? I kneaded it and tried again...still green. I opened another tube and... green.

Am I missing something or does it turn black in time??

I have only seen and used both black and yellow. It wont turn to black. Should take it back to the store and complain.

It is probably a 3M mistake, but whether it is a special color or a different material I wouldn't use it.
