The purple one reminds me of Coleus that maybe didn’t get enough light at some point. It might benefit from some pinching back. But might check with others’ ideas about this though. No idea what the other plant is.

The first is a Coleus and you are probably right about the light. I’m struggling to find the right places for my plants to get the correct amount of sunlight!

The second one is a begonia

Might wanna put them outside or something like that because it always works for some reason!
