    Normal. Mine are usually rust colored after a thorough car wash. Nothing a panic brake downhill won't fix.

    brake discs are normally nice and shiny when you get home and park it in the garage. but because the metal surfaces are nice and shiny, oxygen in the air easily reacts with the iron, producing that dull orange compound called rust. by the next morning, the disc surface is covered by a fine layer of rust.
    but a few impressions of the brake on your way to work, will remove all that rust.
    the process starts over again in your workplace garage..
    the process is markedly enhanced with the presence of water. as in today's weather.

    bottomline: nothing to worry about.

    Mine are rust colored only after carwash. That is what I have observed too. the brakes are not weak but do require some more pedal force compared to other cars.
