I assume you are saying that the two larger carboys have a different color
from each other rather than a different color form the bottle. I also
assume that they are under airlocks with very little head space so oxidation
is not the culprit. Oxidation will cause wine to darken or brown.

The color difference could be cause by different amounts of particulates in
suspension. As the particulates drop out it may tend to darken and then
clear. You really can not tell the color of a wine very well until it
clears.

When did you start it?
How long since it stopped fermenting?
Did you add pectin enzyme?
Have you protected it with Camden or sulfite?
