Not gonna lie, they really do look a lot lighter than usual. I'd like to think that it's the lighting, but I'm more realistic and will state that it was probably the colourists of the episodes.
I'm suspecting a Maiko fan in you, anon. I, too, would have liked more Maiko development, despite how - for some reason - I still feel it isn't as needed as most people say (I came into the fandom late, so thus I was never privy to the between-season comics that everyone else was. However, when I saw the first episode of the third season in which Mai and Zuko kiss, I wasn't surprised. I can't explain it, but I wasn't surprised at all - happy, but not surprised.), but more would have been nice (heart-shaped rock storyline PLEASE).
