There are 4 small color shading bars (4 gold lines) on the side of the camera control button on my iPhone 16. Please tell me if this is normal for iPhone 16 users. Also, I didn't drop the phone from my hand.

That looks like small scratches in the paint on the Capture Button. You can show it to Apple if you want, but they most assuredly tell you it's cosmetic, not covered by warranty and assuming the button functions as designed, not an issue to be concerned about. This, by the way, is a risk anyone takes if the Capture Button is fully exposed. Apple as well as other case manufacturers do sell cases, which have a Capture Button built into the case. I've been suing the Spigen case on my iPhone 16 Pro Max, which protects the Capture button completely. You might want to consider buying a case for your iPhone, which has a built in Capture Button to ensure there is no further cosmetic damage to your Capture Button.
And if you go to Apple.com and look at their cases for iPhone 16, you'll see they too have a Camera Capture Button built in: https://www.apple.com/shop/accessories/all/magsafe?f=iphone16&fh=12b2bf%2B81eaf8&page=1

I don't have iPhone 16, but I don't think it should be like this as I have 16 Promax and also from the pictures of 16s that I have seen, it should not be like this. But again, I'm not sure
Looks like it might be paint chipped off exposing the interior lighting from your device
