I use 2 fluorescent lights one is a cool white one and the other
a wide spectrum light, AND STILL I DONT GET RED COLORATION ON MY DROSERA! Only new leaves are a little red and after a few days the are GREEN! PALE GREEN!

Let there be light. but, you already have, so give it some time.i left a green spatulata in the sun for a week before the color really started to show.
 
like sundewd i did the same thing with my drosera )(D. Spatulata .,
it did take a while to color up but once it did it got deep red tenticles .

don't expect it to turn red realy fast and try not to burn it

i only keep that one on my windo seal so it get's cool nights and bright sunlight , i read that i had to adjust it to natural sunlight so as not to harm it .
goodluck.
 
Bring them closer to the lights and you should get better coloration

Deffinately bring them closer just make sure that the light doesnt put off too much heat and fry the plants
