We have one really dark saw shell and one light one, we call them day and night. Its handy for telling them apart.
 
I had a little murray river turtle, it was almost black when I got it, and it got lighter as it grew.. but I've seen heaps of baby ones that are really light in comparison to the one I had at around the same age.
 
Nice,looks like the hypo that someones selling on petlink.
 
Maybe being light and dark in colour...they can like like dappled light in the water and are invisible to predators!
