I hope I'm not wrong but I suspect that color is caused by a stress related issue whether it be lighting or water... I will look forward to seeing it develop.

I suggest that as I have seen this same thing in another tradescantia plant I have. This photo of Tradescantia sillamontana shows the new growth as green, the older leaves had a reddish tone and although the red leaves look dead, they were lush and succulent.

Please keep us posted.
