The scene was shot with so many shadows that it was very hard to get a good capture that actually showed her face. But then, as you say, perhaps they were trying to convey right from the very start that Julia would be darker in the '91 Series.
I've read that Julia was deliberately drawn so darkly in the '91 Series because she was envisioned as the female analogue of Barnabas. And what's really interesting is how the writers saw the structure of the series as Barnabas' obsession with the three women in his life, with each representing a different aspect of Barn. Josette was seen as his emotions, his past, his lineage, and his heritage. Julia was seen as his future and his intellect. And Angelique was seen as his physical nature, his sexuality, and a simile for his vampiric affliction.
(All that certainly makes one curious as to how the Depp/DS film will delineate the women in Barn's life. But, of course, that's a discussion for a Depp/DS film topic...)
