I never really considered letting the roots get light too

Normally for phals that are in clear pots, when you water the roots you can see will turn green, and when they are dry they become silvery/white.(the dry velamen is less transparent, so hides the green) The roots at the center of the pot, and Phals that are in non-clear pots will always be white/yellow, even when you water them. That's because they don't get light, so no chloroplasts to make the green color.
