Never owned any coloured halides?, maybe it just something these do?

I didn't seen this phenomenon in any other colour MH lamp. In my former Venture MH-DE 70W/UVS/GDX lamp, there were slightly end blackening and huge amount of thallium that looked black, both when hot and cold.
Also: That whole blackening afterglowing when turning off the lamp, as if it was the liquid thallium itself.
