What is generally the cause of darker colored joints with a good bit of flux surrounding?

I was also wiping the tip between joints so it appeared nice any shiny silver/tin colored. Also, I tried some more soldering a bit earlier and nearly all of the solder was going onto the tip, (top and bottom of a chisel), not the pad. |
