Why do Power Stop Z26 Pads turn my rotors brown

For S&G's, I just went outside to take some pictures! To note, I did not clean or prep the wheels or brakes in any way for these pictures; I walked out into the garage and snapped these pictures on my phone (LG G6), which remain 100% untouched for this posting. The car has ~350 miles on it since its last wash. I just pulled my records and the pads (Powerstop Z26) and rotors (OEM revised Z51 rotors) now have almost 5k miles on them and were installed back in March. I followed Powerstop's pad bed-in procedure after installation.

I will trade brown rotors for all that filthy brake pad dust that is much worse than you know till you clean your wheels and the under side of your car. Power stops are a blessing!

I've got a car with almost 2000 miles that I bought with 1500; I just changed to powerstops and they feel great.
I'm going to ironX the car and I'll show you all the purple from the brake dust. I already washed the wheels and it took forever from the oem pads blasting everything.

Horrible brown stains
So after only 100 miles I decided to take these pads off, Z06 is black on black and I love looking at my bright shiny brake rotors there's no way I'm going to deal with this Brown staining all over my brake rotors, even the spot where the brakes don't touch are getting stained as well!!! Switching to carbotech!!!
