Bought meat a few days ago - mixed ground beef and chicken. Sell by date is today, I figured I'm good to split it into smaller packages and freeze it if I do it by today.
I take it out of the fridge (has been consistently cold since purchased) and it looks a little greenish. Even weirder, when I took it to a different room, it looked more grayish/brown than green. It just looks green in fluorescent light and not green in incandescent light.
What is going on and is this meat safe?!

The brown/ grey I think can happen from oxidation - and only happens on the outside. But green I never saw. Would not feel good about green meat.

Update: I opened it. It smells normal enough. Under where the labels were was fine and pink. All the inside is fine and pink, so I guess it's just discoloration - which I have seen before in brown/gray. The greenish tinge spooks me though and I want to know what's causing it. Meanwhile, I am freezing it and giving it to a friend who is not as squeamish as me - on account of it's within its best by date and smells fine and is pink inside.

It sounds normal. However, in the future- I always split up and freeze meat the day that I buy it. It preserves freshness the best that way.

Meat like that can smell fine, but when you fry up a little bit of it you can tell if the smell seems a bit off, or if it tastes a tiny bit off. If that's the case, you can give it to the feral cats in your neighborhood, or throw it out.
I'm pretty frugal about my food, but I don't mess around with meat. Unless you have a perfect sense of smell, stay on the safe side. Even since Covid, I've had to be even more careful, because I can't smell nearly as well as I used to.

Maybe it’s just the fluorescent lighting
Take to a window look at it with sunlight
