The lower the viscosity is the hotter the magma is and faster it flows.Higher the viscosity is the cooler it is and slower it flows down.
Why are some igneous rock dark and other light?
The color will depend on the mineral composition of the magma.

What type of magma produces pahoehoe?
Magma that is low in silica flows readily and produces dark-colored lava. Therefore magma that is low in silica produces Pahoehoe lava. This is called mafic or basaltic magma.
