It will be the "pressure treatment" that has coloured the wood slightly. The wood is flooded with the chemical under pressure so you can't get rid of it, more coats of paint COULD cover it

Hi Darren
the best advice I can give you leave it till next year as anything you put on now will not be absorbed
I would not be surprised if it rains in the next few days it will wash it all off
All the best
Mark
