Well this isn't _really_ on topic in a wine based newsgroup, but I'll be lenient.

Theoretically it hs to do with the aging process, as the rum can gain colour from the barrels. However, most dark rums are coloured with caramel.

Rum - basically - comes in three colour ways.

White (the colour it comes out of the still)

Pale a golden colour, most typical of rums from ex spanish colonies.

Dark a fairly deep brown, typical of rums from ex British colonies

All rum is dry. I've never seen the word "dry" associated with Rum before.

Dry means an absence of sugar, in principal.
