They look to be grown a little on the cool side. It's really no problem and they should grow out of it. Have they been recently introduced to direct sunlight? That too might be part of it.

Where are the plants growing? Inside or out. What type of light and temps are they getting?

They are nice and stocky which is great.

Many of mine look like that too. Some are more susceptible to cold than others. Some plants in ground look very dark purple and cold. We dodged frost last night. It will be 80 next week.
