So this is the first set of pods to begin growing. Noticed this last week, but don't know whether it means it's starting to ripen or lack some sort of nutrient(s).

Do you need help identifying a 🌶?
Is your plant suffering from an unknown issue? 🤧
Then ask in Identification and Diagnosis.

I've seen that on some of my superhots. Don't worry about it, it's not indicitive of any particular nute deficiency that I'm aware of (I will however defer to others if they do know if it's anything), but overall, you should be just fine!
^^^ what Juanitos said. A simple case of sunburn, and shouldn't damage the pods in any way (that I know of).
its just picking up a tan, when it gets ripe that wont be there at all
... sweet .
Not enough leaf canopy to protect the pods,no big deal. You will see it a lot at the end of the season when pods are growing on the upper branches and are exposed.
The purple staining is just an overproduction of the antioxidant anthocyanin, it will not hurt your peppers in the slightest, at the very most you may notice A slight bitterness and that is usually only if you get considerable staining
