Can blood be brown during your period?

This question, i would think, is mainly for women. But anyway, I just got my period 3 months ago and most of the time when I get it, the blood is brown either on the toilet paper or on the pad.

My mom, i guess, didnt know know the answer to it so, im asking you, women fluther-ers, can your blood be brown during your preriod. (And F.Y.I., couldnt think of a better way to ask this question, so if its disturbing, sorry, i need to know.)
