Nice work getting the fluid changed. The front differential probably turns fluid darker than the rear differential because it gets much hotter (it's bolted to the engine and sits right under the header). I changed mine for the first time at 80k miles, and then again at 110k miles; in the 30k miles between changes, the fluid still came out very dark... it probably cleaned up a lot of what was left behind from the first change at 80k, too.
