Colour of teats

Looking for some advice, one of our 8 month old piggies has one black teat & one pink teat, is this normal? No crusting or discharge, piggy well in herself! Honestly can't remember if it's always been like this!
 
It is perfectly normal for a guinea pig with both white and black markings.
 
It's normal for pigs to have different colored skin in different areas. None of mine have had different teats, but they have had half-and-half ears (half pink, half brown), my brindle pig had to get shaved for an operation on her lower back and I was amused to find that her skin was mottled black and brown just like her fur, and my current baby pig has black skin around her nostrils but a pink lower lip, so I don't see why it couldn't happen with teats as well.
