Faint Arrows, Bright hearts?

[stoneseeker2007]

Does anyone know what it means if the arrows, although well formed, appear faint under a hearts and arrows scope, yet the hearts, well formed are very bright on a GIA excellent cut?

1: difference in how the image was taken
2: different scopes show the images differently.
3: basically it means nothing.

The darkness of colors has more to do with equipment and lighting conditions than anything else. People often have similar questions here about ideal scope images that are darker or lighter red. It doesn''t really mean anything. Focus instead on the images themselves.
