I've noticed that one of my plants has turned a pale yellow-green with pink edges, and the dark purple one is losing its leaves. It used to be a bright green, and the purple part had this beautiful flower-like look. They were inside before I moved them outside. Any ideas on what might be going wrong?

Sounds like your plant might be experiencing sun stress! When they're exposed to a lot of sun, they can change color as a sort of natural response—kind of like getting a tan. This is pretty common and can actually be a sign that your plant is receiving enough light, or even too much. Just keep an eye on them and make sure they’re not showing signs of actual burn or dehydration. If they look happy otherwise, it’s usually nothing to worry about.
Yeah, stress colors are expected! Just make sure your plants aren't experiencing extreme conditions. Stressed succulents can show vibrant colors, but if your purple one is losing leaves, that’s a bit concerning. It could also be due to dehydration or sudden temperature changes. Keep the watering in check and monitor the sunlight exposure; not all plants like it full-on every day.
