Hi, munozk...

I'm sure there are plenty of helpful people on the site. I imagine quite a few folks are dealing with holiday business and the like. :>)

As for your purple streaks on the peppers, no worries, that is perfectly normal and they are still good to eat. Those streaks can kick in due to weather extremes, high sun exposure, and/or temperature. Rest assured the pepper is doing what it's supposed to be doing, either maturing or is fully matured. Yellow and golden peppers, especially banana types, were bred over the years to be those colors, not their normal color of purple or red. Personally, I like a more colorful pepper as it will be higher in anthocyanins than the paler ones.

Best,
Shoe
