Does darker acocado oil indicate more nutrients, perhaps richer taste?

I use avocado oil for cooking, salads etc. I've noticed some avocado oils are darker, some really light colored. (Here is what I currently use.) When juicing carrots I run them through the juicer once, then run the resulting pulp through twice, each run through the juicer resulting in carrot juice which is considerably darker, almost blood-red and very, very sweet on the third run through. And that has set me to wondering if darker avocado oil is richer in avocado nutrients, richer flavor maybe. Do you know?

Best answer: Could mean that the darker avocado oils are less filtered. There is a pretty instructive Wikihow page on how avocado oil is extracted which you may find useful on your journey of avocado understanding.
