What kind of plants? Do you have CO2 or other nutrients?

I agree with Unwritten Law. If your plants aren't getting enough CO2, it is kind of like your fish not getting enough oxygen, so I imagine that could cause a colour issue. They have equipment for CO2 injection and all kinds of goodies for planted tanks, if you want to fork over the cash. I would look into some fish safe aquarium plant fertilizers.
