This weekend, the monarchs returned to our butterfly bushes. They
seem to be darker orange than those that visited here earlier in the
year, which seemed more yellowish than white, especially at midday. I
wonder if it is age or diet or just different lighting that make the
apparent colors vary.

... or perhaps D: all or the above.
According to Wikipedia, 5 generations separate the Monarchs that migrate
north from Mexico in the spring and those that return there in the fall.
I'm guessing you saw second generation Monarchs last spring and these
are third or fourth generation Monarchs returning south.
