Is this gross???

I'm not sure which explanation is correct, but I tend to favor the one claiming that most juices have components of different densities and/or particulate contents; in top coil designs, the "lighter fractions" of the juice have an easier time wicking up, whereas the denser, darker stuff remains at the bottom.
Theoretically, there should be a difference in the flavor, then, but there shouldn't be anything wrong with the darker juice. Also, apparently, using a bottom coil clearomizer would prevent this from happening....

Some of the juices start clear and as they are exposed to light or just steep a bit become darker. It could be that your atomizer needs cleaning too.
Could it be that exposure to light makes it darker? I don't know if that's right though. I notice that even some of the juices I keep in a drawer get darker with time; it's really noticeable when I get a new bottle and compare it to the one I've been using. No appreciable difference in taste so I am cool with it.
The clearomizer and/or tank and atomizer are new/clean, though it does seem to change from clear to dark faster as they are used. It's not exposure to light, cuz the juice was accidentally left in some light, not a lot, but some, and didn't change at all. And my rig is not usually in light, because I'm not. 
I was told by the owner of one of the oldest companies in the business (2007) that as the heating coil heats over time, it gets darker and that when it comes in contact with the eliquid, it changes the color of the eliquid in patches.
Exactly.
The juice in the wicking material gets caramelized, and goes down the wicks into the tank.
I'm still not clear if this makes a difference in the vaping experience. I use mostly clear cartos and only light colored eliquid. Fairly soon after I see this happening, I usual start fresh, again. My cartos last me about 5 - 6 days, then I start a fresh one.
Even in a normal cartomizer the juice gets darker, you just can't see it. But, you sure will if you blow it out.
Juice just goes all funny when you expose it to heat is all, expose it to enough heat and you get vapor.

Yes, it could just be the steeping or the reaction from being warmed up/exposed to light. No worries, vape on.
I've noticed this too at the bottom of the tank... almost looks burnt but tasted the same.
I've noticed this too, I think it's a little bit of wicking and coil "caramelizing" and steeping. BTW I've never used the word "caramelizing" for vaping, but it totally works for this. LOL
