I’m guessing it’s a bit cold where they are

Those varieties are high in anthocyanin, which is what makes them dark. It’s a purple pigment that also tends to show up in the plant itself. You’ll likely see it fade a bit as the plants get bigger, but they might always have a purple cast to them.

Totally normal for those tomatoes. Black Beauty is very dark and will stay darker. The tomatoes are a dark purple, almost black. Very fun to grow and eat!
