As wood ages it oxidizes at the surface. We call it Patina when it happened on a fine violin or a piece of furniture, but when you have a ghost image on your floor its not so great.
The area under the rug didn't get the light & oxygen to make it age or oxidize the same as the uncovered area so you usually get a light ghost of the rug and a dark outline around it
.Other than sand & refinish, only time will heal this.
If you remember science class this will have about a 6 month "Half Life" half the shade difference will be gone in 6 months & then half of that in another & so on. But it will always be there if you look close enough.
