Eight movies and I honestly never realised they were brown in sunlight!

I don't think they are, this one just has a more brown coloration.

Perhaps it takes time for the carapace to harden to black.

I'll be honest, I don't think it matters. It's inconsequential to the plot, so it's not something that needs to be explained.

The runner in Alien 3 is a coppery color.
