Are these leaves a good color for curing?

[Figuring it out]

I used a cardboard box for color curing and found that the leaves went to brown before the green totally left. I've attached a couple pictures of these. Most of the leaves are a combination of yellow and brown with a bit of green in the main veins of the leaves. Does this batch look like it's going okay, or will I find myself disappointed in the end? Thanks!

If the leaves have never dried, then it appears to be going alright. Any lamina that dries with green on the upper surface will not properly cure. If the upper surface is brown, but the underside of the same area is greenish (not unusual with thick, upper leaf), that green will vanish with kilning or prolonged aging.
