How close to the ground were those particular leaves? You'll notice darker and darker leaves the closer you get to the top.
These are taken from one (Bahia) plant:

They look fine to me. Color will depend on leaf position, sun exposure, maturity, nutrition etc etc. It an agricultural product with an infinite number of affecting variables. Also color is not necessarily an indicator of quality / flavor.

Ah OK, closer to the bottom, plus I started my crop about six weeks later than I should have so maybe cooler Temps were a factor too? My black Mammoth looks great though.

There are dozens of "Havana" varieties. Some are darker than others. As stated above, upper leaf is always darker than lower leaf. Also, kilning will tend to darken the leaf somewhat. In your photo, I see some awfully nice Claro wrapper.

Thanks Bob, yeah I thought it would make a solid wrap as well. Next year I'll hopefully be more organized growing leaf, I really only started out just wanting to try a few potted plants but what I started grew better than I thought so I was rather unprepared.
