Also I have noticed a lot of the hairs on my face differ in coarseness is this a mix of established hair and new hair coming through or something else? 
Yes, the lighter hairs are transitional if they have some length. They will turn terminal over the weeks and months ahead and that will continue to darken your beard. You should see a difference from month to month but it could take a number of months for this change to nearly complete.
