I have alot of seedlings do this they grow out of it. I notice mine do this more if they are under real strong light when they are young.

running lights too much will cause a purple look I do believe

Just a tan. It could happen to any green variety.

This is common, it happened to some of my seedlings last year. I had a 5 cfl setup and a few seedlings were too close to the bulbs, they grew fine. I just moved the lights further away.

A little bit of purple isn't a big deal. You can go back to running your lights 24/7. Perhaps just move them up a bit.

Strange that the light intensity would make them darker... You'd think it would pale them out. I wonder where the purple pigmentation comes from.
