ושינו את מראיו כשר. דהדחת כלים לא חשיבא שינוי מראה:
ואין פוסלים אותו בשינוי מראה. משום דצבעא לית ביה מששא:

ימתין עד שירדו גשמים. דלמלאות בכתף אי אפשר, דבחסר עסקינן, שהוא נפסל בשלשה לוגין:

Bartenura
אין בו מראה מים ארבעים סאה – if there aren’t in the Mikveh forty Seah that have the appearance/color of water, he should not ritually immerse in that Mikveh even on that side that has in it the appearance/color of water, but if he ritually immersed, his immersion has no effect.
אין בו מראה מים ארבעים סאה. אם אין במקוה ארבעים סאה שיש בהן מראה מים, לא יטבול באותו מקוה אפילו באותו צד שיש בו מראה מים. ואם טבל, לא עלתה לו טבילה:
Mishnah Yomi FAQ
What is Mishnah Yomi?

What is the Mishnah?

Who started the Mishnah Yomi program?
In 1934, the Kozoglover Gaon, Rav Aryeh Tzvi Frommer, who took over from Rav Meir Shapiro (the founder of Daf Yomi) as the head of Yeshivas Chachmei Lublin, initiated the Mishnah Yomi cycle, focusing on Seder Zeraim and Seder Taharos. After World War II, in 1947, Rav Yonah Sztencl, a disciple of Rav Frommer, expanded the program, advocating for a comprehensive study of Shishah Sidrei Mishnah. The idea of studying two Mishnayos daily gained the support of figures like Rav Isser Zalman Meltzer, the Tchebiner Rov, and the Gerer Rebbe, marking the formal inception of Mishnah Yomi.

ושינו את מראיו כשר – that the rinsing of utensils is not considered a change in appearance (i.e., color).
ואין פוסלים אותו בשינוי מראה – because color does not have substance in it.
ומוחל (thin secretion)– water that comes forth from olives.
ימתין עד שירדו גשמים – that to fill it [by drawing water in buckets] with one’s shoulder is impossible, for we are dealing with that which is lacking, and it would be invalidated with three LOGS [of drawn water].
ממלא בכתף – for a complete/filled Mikveh, the drawn [waters] do not invalidate it (i.e., the Mikveh) ever.
