Mine is dark red veined ...
Is that what you want to prevent ?

Is colour dependent of the plant or of the tank ?

before I had other sword plants but they become pale loosing the nice green
color when I bought them, now I just start this setup and I am trying to do
my best to keep the plants from loosing the green color... I have 2 W/gal
sustrate (Flourite Red Seachem) and fine gravel about 2" to 3", the pH is
6.8, KH is 50 ppm, the CO2 is around 13.31, temp. 27.8 C (82 F), is that ok,
to keep a nice green color in my plants ?????

Swords are heavy root feeders, and adding a nitrogen source at the
roots will help a lot. Use something like Jobes or Aqua tabbs.
