Most vegetables need warm days and a lot like warm nights, especially peppers and tomatoes. This year due to our cooler nights in the uppper midwest, peppers and tomatoes are taking longer to ripen. Did you know that all peppers start out green. If you bought a colored pepper such as purple, red or yellow they take another 20 or so days to turn the color that was on the tag when you bought it. Also when you pick a pepper it's "warm", to cool the pepper and to help them keep better in the refridgerator run cool water over the pepper after you pick it to take the field heat out of it.
