Yep, the color of soy sauce. I have not heard of any adverse effects of not placing it in the refrigerator. I personally do not keep mine in the refrigerator and as far as I can tell, it hasn't caused any problems.

What I have noticed, this may well be just placebo, the leaves have started to get a deeper green coloration after 2 days with this new light. Right now I'm running my lights from 8AM to 10PM, so that's a good 14 hours of light a day.

You may want to cut the lighting down to 10-12 hours just to prevent any algae growth that you may see with the increase in light. Its not a huge increase, so you may be fine, but its recommended to light a planted tank for 8-12 hours a day.

The Java fern is as green as ever, but the moss lost it's bright green coloration and is taking on a dull brown.
Here's a pic from where all was the best it's ever been

Compare the sorry state of the floating plant to how it was when I got it from a planted tank fanatic

Will appropriate light save it?

The lighting increase should help the plants. Pennywort is a medium light plant and should definitely benefit from the new lighting. The java moss, being a low light plant, should definitely benefit from the new light.
