disease-pests Leaf question?

The true leaves on my peppers are a lot lighter in color than the first set, is this normal?

Some of my Nagas are doing that. It happens.

If you decide to give them some fertilizer, cut it to at least half strength, or you can burn the leaves.
 
This happens to me too, mainly on my C. Chineses. They usually grow out of it and the leafs get darker in time. It has never caused me to lose any plants.
