Anybody ever seen tis before?

horizontal or vertical? One side of the pepper, or all the way round? Sunburn? Lack of nutrition. Search either term on the forum and you might get some pointers

Sounds fine to me, but a pic would be able to tell us more info.

The steaks run the length of the pods and seem start at the base and getting lighter toward the tips. I'll post some pics later tonite.

Chiles that get the most sun frequently turn black/purple. Notice the same chile, with leaf cover, does not turn black. Perfectly normal.
As with this purira:

That's interesting. The way the super chile grows there is little to no sun cover. We've had some pretty warm days here already (mid 80s) but it's usually a bit hazy when it gets hot here on lake Erie. None of my other plants are doing this. Theone sportong pods are Banana, Hungarian Hot Wax, Jalapeno, and Mexi-Bell. My Red Savina is flowering at this point.

Finally got a pichttp://s199.photobucket.com/albums/aa119/pao1x/?action=view¤t=peppers.jpg
I think willard3 has it right. Looks a lot like a pepper with a tan.

Oh ya, you're fine. No need to worry. It's just natural color from the sun.
