My Boston ferns are a dull light green color instead of a glossy dark green. ?Reason? Suggestions ?

Not enough natural light.
Sounds like they need re-potting or fertilizer
Too much or too little water could also be causing the problem.

Good luck!
maybe too much sun - fertilize them
Mix a tablespoon of epsom salt in your water when you water them. They will be a pretty green again in no time!
Epson salt
Too much sun? That will do it, and I agree with the epsom salt suggestion.
Thanks. I should have said they're in the shade.
I work with a florist one time and she told me that the ferns don't like oil from your hands
