If you're talking about the ring knot on the raiders whip, then yes, it is darker.

Not naturally it's not. They whip on the CS whip if anything is originally darker. They made it darker intentionally.

On the raiders whip, the transition knot, also known as the ring knot, is often sun darkened. I have also used saddle tan roo hide

for this purpose, which is a color that looks like sun darkened natural tan hide. Here's a picture of a sun darkened ring knot,

just for another reference:

It a screen accuracy thing, not needed in any way shape or form, and is completely controllable.
