I too have basil and different kinds. One of my Basils has a white and green leaf. One has purple, and one has a bright green. Your plants look healthy. Now I'm not an expert but I have been planting all my life. Some herbs change colors because of their age or maturity. I wouldn't be too worried about it. But still check it out in a book at the library or something. If you are worried about nutrients put some coffee grounds, or eggshells, or manure into the soil. You can put it on top or you can dig it in just below the soil! sorry this is so long!

well i KNOW the cinnamon--or was it tai?? one of them-- basil shouldnt look like that an its the same with the pineapple sage ive ghrown them in past years an its not happened so yea as fer adding stuff to the soil there ALL in pots AND the pots are nearly full from soil and that so how would ya do that?? --the pineapple sage IS full--

--anywho ive trimmed most of the offending leaves off an the pineapple sage is starting to flower ill let it too (well some cause thats how i talked my mom into gettin it before) they "seem" ok sence tho the leaves are in the thing i tioss my scraps an that in
