black jalapenos turning green?

[scratchzilla]

Probably a noob question, but hey, I'm a noob at this.

I have a black jalapeno plant and the pods are turning from a deep black to that really dark camo green. Is this normal?

Anyone?

Its likely anthocyanin pigment giving your pods a protective sun-tan. Don't worry a bit this is normal

Haha now they're turning red, just like regular Japs. I always thought they just stayed black.
