Aubergine seedlings getting dark leaves?

Hi all.

I'm growing Aubergines (black beauty) for the first time this year and the seedlings have been going well so far, I've been keeping them inside until about 2 weeks ago when I moved them to my greenhouse. Now they are sprouting their third set of leaves and they are coming through very dark almost black. I'm not sure wether this is normal, every on of my 8 seedlings are doing the same, or wether I have done something wrong!
Advice and or answers greatly appreciated!

    That looks absolutely fine to me, as this variety has very dark stems. As the leaves grow to full size should turn green, it's just a developmental phase.
