Discoloration on tomato leaves?

So a couple of my tomato plants, (my blooming dwarf Tiny Tim and a young Cherokee Purple) look odd. Leaves look like they're yellowing; not a 'feed me' yellowing but a 'disease' yellowing to me. Sorry the pics aren't very accurate but there is also some darker blotches on the Tiny Tim leaves. Thoughts?

Give plants more sunlight & more nitrogen see if yellow goes away.

My tomato plants are on east side of a shade tree so they get full sun early morning cool part of the day then full shade 12 noon to dark hottest part of the day. I don't give my plants much nitrogen it makes tall plants & less tomatoes. A few days ago I watched a video that claims tomato plants need lime once a week to unlock nutrients in the soil to make them available to the plant. I never heard that about lime before. I give my tomato plants lime every week for BER, lime does not last long in our soil.

No more discolored areas have appeared on my tomato leaves. The biggest patch began to look dried out/dead so I cut off that bit of leaf. Everything else looks fine. I think the plant must have got too close to the fluorescent lamp, maybe touched it.
