That's from heat. The calipers are painted and not anodized so they are more vulnerable to color change from heat but the clear coat finish makes them typically more resistant to cleaners. Anodized is opposite. They don't discolor from even extreme heat but since there's not a protective coating it makes them more vulnerable to acidic cleaners.
CCB's generate more heat than steel, they're just more tolerant. That's why they have to be bigger than the steel counterparts.
