Get the light real close (about 2-4 inches) and they will turn green.

When I've tried the advanced seed starting method, I've removed the seed coat, germinated in a baggie like normal, then placed the rooted seedling about an inch under the soil and let it emerge through the soil naturally. By the time the seedling comes through the soil, the first leaves are green. I don't know if that helps, just my own experiance.
