Leaves very pale green on Courgettes

My courgette plants have been out for about a week. I wish I had hung on another week really, I didn't expect that weather over the past few days.

The leaves are very pale green, they were dark green when they were in the cold frame. Could it be that they are getting waterlogged? They are in good soil with plenty of rotted compost. Or, could it be that they are cold?

Might be worth popping a cloche over them to see if they perk up.

Yes, I think they're feeling cold - pop a cloche over them, or some fleece, see if that helps.
