For humans, brown feces is generally the healthiest. It should probably be a solid brown too. Light brown usually relates to diarrhea. I don't think green feces shouldn't happen often, it may be an indicator of food that upsets your stomach, or it can just be from the green vegetables you eat.

If the feces are white it means you are in liver failure. The lighter the color the worse your liver is getting, if feces is a very black color it can mean you are bleeding in the intestine which is serious and may mean you have a ulcer or a hole in the intestine.

If there is red, it has fresh blood. This may indicate a rectal tear. If it is black or has brown with the consistency of coffee grounds, you have internal bleeding - see a doctor. If it is green and you have not eaten green food dye recently, you have an infection and need to see a doctor.
