How was the color and clarity of the brake fluid when you flushed it? Did you notice any rust?

I did not do anything with the piston or clean it. I just did a complete flush and then replaced with new fluid and bleeded the brakes to get all the air bubbles out.
The old brake fluid was really brown and dark. It definitely was old. Did not notice any rust or debris in the old fluid when I flushed it.
Only reason I flushed it to begin with is because the previous owner could not tell me when it was last done, so for all I know it could have been years. I just wanted the assurance of knowing I have good new fluid in there now, since I know when I last did it and I track all of my maintenance.
