Sod questions

We are thinking of putting some sod down in the newly dirt backyard (and hopefully seeding over the sod in the fall?). I called Shannon nursery and they seem to be knowledgeable and good. But the guy said the sod is not fully green yet, should be in about 2 weeks. But they will install it this weekend. Is this odd? To install brownish sod with the understanding it will grow in green as the weather warms up? I thought sod was always green when installed. Anyone?
