do they lose the green colouration quicker with higher or lower
temperatures?

They do, once they've been in the dark long enough. Whether they lose
the solanine is another question entirely.
My understanding from books is that if green tattas are kept in the
cool and
total darkness, they should return to normal. However, I haven't tried this!

Better to keep then for growing than trying to get the green to go, by
the time any green would go they would be so old and shriveled with
long sprouts they would be useless.
