Yeast and Color

[dixiebrewer]

I have been brewing for over a year now about 8 ten gallon batches...I have now started moving from the standard clone recipes and start to experiment a little. My first attempt at experimentation has confused me a little. The first batch was a Belgian Strong Golden Ale. I split the wort in to equal parts. Five gallons I used Wyeast 3522 Belgian Ardennes and the remaining 5 gallons I used Wyeast 5787 Trappist High Gravity Yeast. After transferring into my carboys I have two distinct colors. One color is a light caramel and the other is very much darker as in dark chocolate. Can different yeast cause this result?
