Well in order to answer why it's darker, we need all the ingredients and what your process was when brewing this.

As for the head not disappearing, that's because you naturally carbonated it. My thought is, someone correct me if this is wrong, but natural carbonation produces smaller bubbles and that causes them to not pop as easily and they stick around longer.

Assuming an extract kit. Extract kit are darker than commercial or all grain versions. If you add 1/3 to 1/2 of the extract in the beginning and the rest when you turn off the heat, it will be lighter.

I don't think you used too much priming sugar, at least not a lot. Most people strive to have a head that lasts.

Each brew will vary in how long the head will last and how much there is.
