I don't doubt that it could be light, but I don't know enough to be sure. I've seen the same thing in orchids that you mention. I do know that light does affect how much dark coloration you get on the p-stem -- more shade = darker p-stem. My main point was that petiole color isn't a reliable characteristic.
