it has to do with how much beer you are looking at. 10 inches of beer in a fermenter allows less light through then the 2 inches in a glass, so it looks darker. Not to mention you have debris still floating around due to the fermentation - that is blocking more light/making it darker.
Let the fermentation finish and the yeast and trub settle. When you take your fg reading you'll get a better idea when it is in the hydrometer tube.
