From the microscopic particles of oak that attach themselves to the clear liquid distillate while it sits in barrels made from them.

Or, in Bacardi's case for example, by adding food coloring to the exact same spirit that is found in the equivalent, clear bottles.

Either via the oak barrels during aging, or food coloring. The reason why there are rums of two colors to begin with is simply for drink aesthetics.

Dark, golden or amber rums are aged in oak casks, which gives the rum a more caramel colour and richer, more pronounced flavour. White rums are aged in metal casks.
