Comb gets dark where the bees have raised brood in the past.  I'm going to guess they might have raised brood in those bottom combs at some point.

The more brood raised in a comb the darker the comb

It is better to keep ones mouth shut and be thought of as a fool than to open ones mouth and in so doing remove all doubt.
