Dark brown hairs normal?

all of my plants have developed very dark brown hairs (not orange) which looks odd to me. The immature ones seem to be developing these brown hairs also but still have white hairs. Is this normal or should i be concerned? Could it be caused by a combination of high temps, high humidity, and insignificant water? Symptom of bud rot?
The hairs are receding into the catalyxes, and I believe they should be ready very soon. Should I wait until they can recover and retain their color if it was caused by drought or go ahead and harvest on time?

pics will help. im unsure what stage you are really in. if you pistols are receding and your time is near anyway it may be time to harvest. you'll benefit greatly from getting a loupe or micrscope

IMG_0304.PNG IMG_0305.PNG These thumb nails show some of the worst looking ones while the big picture is one that is not as bad. I have dealt with some brown spots in the bud previously, but it has since not been a problem and if it was bud rot I wouldn't think it only affect the hairs. And no that isn't bud rot in the first picture, it is dead foliage on the outside (has NOT spread to the middle of the bud) Maybe it is past mature/ripe?IMG_0302.PNG

Genetics.. I think it looks cool! Unique!!
Only problem with that is it is happening in all my strains, but they are all sort of alike "purple" strains. They are blue dream, purple Trainwreck, OG, and blue Mountain Dew. It is occurring in 8 out of 8 of the mature plants. But it's good to hear tht y'all believe it is not a problem! Is this a common hue to see with indicas that are allowed to flower until the hairs recede?
Thanks for all the responses btw!

tbh ive only seen that personally on a few genetics so im not sure. I think blue kush, black kush, and grape og is where i saw this.
