Different types of Flax Meal.

[Bren]

If this question has been asked before, please forgive me........(can I blame it on age?)
Shopping for flaxmeal and the other day my health food store now offers the "golden" variety. Is there a difference (not according to the nutritional label)? And, if there is a difference, what is it? Which is the better choice?

Here in France I've always had the choice between light and dark seeds. The person at the health food store told me that there was no difference in the nutritional values but then maybe he was just guessing. Anyways I use both with the dark being much cheaper for some reason. The light is nice in baking but my husband likes the rich colour of the dark for his cereal in the morning.
