I am not sure why white thinset was not used nor did i even think to ask.
Marble color change thinset.
Often the choice of thinset color simply comes down to the grout color selection.
How long do you let it dry out after it is installed.
I noticed that the bottom row if tile are not full size tile.
I see ditra around the niche you planning on running ditra in the east of the shower.
If the thinset shows through the grout it will be less noticeable.
The dark color on the marble was definitely moisture as it has lightened quite a bit.

What color thinset does he she use.
For rectangular plank tile use a medium bed mortar such as 720 marble pro.
When you combine that with the color change it looks like you intensionally picked a different color for the bottom row to create a border between the large vein marble squares above and the multi colored small tile on the floor.
When installing tile in your home you can use a variety of products to adhere the tile to the substrate.
For instance if you are installing granite tiles and have selected a gray toned grout color gray thinset is a good choice for installation.
For most installations a modified thinset such as the 703 or 710 is recommended.

Definitely stay with a lighter color for marble.

But when it comes to thinset installers face a choice of which thinset to use quick setting or regular with the proper choice depending entirely on the type of marble installed.
I remember doing a carerra repair in a shower a few years back.
My vote is white it will keep the marble looking pristine and will darken a bit over time matching the look of natural carrara quite well.
White thinset is always used on light colored marble you used the right stuff.
