Hello
Thank you for posting your query with Health Care Magic
A slightly different colored meatus is not a problem especially since it has been since birth. You should be careful only if it shows any swelling or is associated with burning sensation while passing urine. In that case you should visit a pediatric surgeon.
Hope that helps
God bless you
