Stephanie,
I've only grown eggplant once, and my plants and leaves were a
beautiful dark green with blackish areas. I assumed that all
eggplants would be this color, but as I've only grown one variety,
I don't know. Perhaps someone else can help, but I would guess your
eggplants have some kind of mineral or other deficiency. I don't
know what you can do to fix them if you've already fed them. Maybe
they don't like the cold too well yet.
Good luck
