Default Yellow/burnt orange discoloration to brake cylinders; ?normal

Have had my 2.7T one month now and have noticed an increasing discoloration from silver to yellow/orange on the cylinder surface which appears to be getting darker as seen through the wheel rim fenestrations. Is this normal, can it be cleaned without removing the wheel and/or affecting brake performance? TIA for any tips.

Hi, for what it's worth, I have the same problem on my 2001 2.7T as well.

Regards,
Bill
