I would assume that at the first sign of color change, the tranny fluid is changing/degrading and should be replaced. Color change is not normal. I would have even settled for a reference to color change on the dipstick label...

Nah, I doubt it's put there by the marketing dept. If anything, the marketing guys want you NOT to know about it so you spend more money for service. If anything, I'd think the engineers pushed for that there. Anyway, all speculation. It's also in the owner's manual by the way. There, it gives you a whole sentence or two more.
I mean, wouldn't they be opening themselves up to potential lawsuits if they put that there, and it weren't true? (People have sued [AND WON] over hot coffee not having a "HOT" warning -- surely this would be a slam dunk if it were false)
