Question

She saw on a piece of tissue paper that had been placed in her tight-fitting garment next to her body a brown stain, a narrow and long streak which, apparently, if rounded off, would have the size of a gris. 
 She then threw the tissue into the toilet before anyone else could see it as well.
 What is her status? 

Answer

Shalom u-vracha. 

A brown stain does not render her impure. 

If it is a red stain (there is a shade of brown that is considered red), it renders her impure with an area of a gris, even if it is elongated and not round.
