Are those Cherokee Greens turning purple on you in that second to last photo?

I did start some cherokee purples from seed, but didnt think any survived when I left them out in the sun too long during hardening, it's possible that tomato is a purple. This is my first season growing Cherokees, is it normal for purples to be as green as a green bell pepper than they change color after picking? I havent seen any purples on the vine, just green ones.
