Wonder if someone could take a look at the picture I took of my tomatoes and tell me what I am doing wrong and how I can fix it. The leaves are light green and have pronounced purplish veins. This has never happened before, usually all my plants look great. Any advise is appreciated, thanks. Croley Bend

I think once they get in the dirt they will be fine. Mine look a bit ugly untill I get them in the dirt some times.
Some one else could give you a better answer.

What have you been feeding them?
Looks to me like they need a little Nitrogen and Phophorus.
What is the room temperature they are growing in?
Tomatoes are particular about soil temperatures, cooler soil temperatures can lock out P wether it is in the soil or not. I do believe a little Neptunes would green them up.

Duane, Neptunes added, it has been cold and rainy,some warm days but not many. And Im sure once they get in soil they may perk up. Its been so dang rainy here its pathetic. Thanks all. Croley

Yup, I agree with everybody else planting them was what they needed. We grow all our own plants and this happens often, no big deal, they'll get going. I know what you mean about the rain, I'm over here in Arkansas. Forecast looks better next week!!

My guess is they are not likeing the cool wet weather. Once in the ground and they get some sun and warm soil they will green up. My seedlings did the same thing, purple stems all the way up.
