Question about peat

[Jigfig]

This may be a stupid question, but here goes. I recently bought a bag of peat moss and it was a really light brown/tan color. My first bag was a dark brown. Same brand/product. Is there a difference and if so is one better for rooting cuttings? Not saying I could pick and choose, but just to know for future reference.

Could it be one was dry, one was moist?

They both were fairly dry when I opened them and the light color barely darkened when I wet it. Definitely not to the extent of the darker bag at least.

I’m not home at the moment, but this is similar to the color difference when moist
