They look like tomato seedlings, but rather purple and yellow. Too cold? Too wet?

Sorry, but I meant they don't look healthy. What is the actual max/min temperature? It's very important to monitor -- easiest with max/min recording wireless remote censor with display base in the house, but at least keep a thermometer in it and go out and check during mid-day/early afternoon (with full sun) and first thing in the morning at dawn. You really want the seedlings to have a strong start or they will struggle and fall prey to pests and diseases.

You may want to try bringing them inside for the night if temperatures fall below mid-40's. Or even start another batch of seeds. Tomato seedlings will grow slowly but well in 50's to 60's.... Low 70's at most. They grow too fast and spindly at mid-70's to 80's.

Here are some of mine that were moved out of the warmer 70's location to 60's. They will be going out to the garage with temperatures of 50's/low 60's day and upper 40's/low 50's night soon to slow them down and to develop stocky growth. Space is limited inside, too. They'll get better/stronger light than this in the garage set up.

My green house is indoors and I know it's not to hot. Its old and has holes all in it. But I could be over watering it not so good with planting but love to do it.
Anyway I do believe it's a green tomato plant
