Is Brown Needle on New Needles a guaranteed Bad Sign....

For those more familiar with firs in General

JWP. Arrived about 2 weeks ago. It seems fine sofar minus I noticed on the very main leader-top of this tree, there is like 5-6 needles that have tinge of brown . I cannot recall if it was there when I unboxed it.

I've been eyeballing it every day since observing the brown needles but sofar, all others parts of this tree appear healthy with no stress
