The pigmentation concerns me much more than the light.
I note that some compounds are less available at certain temperatures. What temperature are these plants kept at during the winter? I suspect some combination of watering/fertilization/temperature is resulting in deficiencies as the plant grows without the nutrients to sustain the new tissue.
Foliar feeding of chelated iron - which can be as simple as the cooking water from greens - might help.
With my own plants, my only goal over the winter is to keep them alive - they get weak light from a window with indirect exposure, and that's all. They don't grow, but they don't develop deficiency problems either.
