Response to XTOL negitives seem brown .. is this normal?

I've had the packaging problem (I've sent my nasty letter to EK). It seems that the stock solution dosent last as long as Kodak claims as well...BUT...I am getting some of the most printable negatives...using it with TMX, TMY & Delta 400. The TMY prints at 11 X 14 look like they were printed from 4 X 5 negs vice 35mm. The Delta 400 prints look 3 dimensional.Base color of the emulsion does look like a "warm" grey (reminds me of Microdol-X 1:3) vs the "cool" grey of negs developed in T-Max or D-76. I'm using the 1:1 dilution.
