Sounds like mine, looked like this after 3000 miles:
Yep, that's pretty much what it looked like. Googling this topic, I think it may have to do with unburnt fuel mixing with water. Just hoping it's normal, as I thought this was supposed to catch oil coming out of the PCV.
I run a 180*F t-stat and don't do much more than 20-mile round trips with multiple stops, so I contribute it to water vapor mixed in the oil mist, condensing out in the catch can.
Here's what it looks like when left to settle out a bit:

It's water. Have a look at the inside of your oil filler cap as well. It will probably look the same. You hould worry about this if your dipsick shows signs of water on it.

Short trips don't let the engine warm up fully and you get a lot of condensation. It will blow through to the catch can just as the misted oil will. It cools and condenses inside the can. I've seen it a few times as well.
